NC: Lockwoods Folly, shoaling MM 321.5
- Date Reported: Nov 12, 2025
- Reporter: Bob423
- Source: User
- Description:
Update: The blue track has been changed to the shore route for 8 MLLW
The red track shown on the previous alerts has been deleted. The Coast Guard only buoys the shore route so the blue track represents the official Coast Guard track now. When Lockwoods Folly is dredged in the future, the buoys will not mark the straight through path. It's the shore route all the time now.
USACE = US Army Corps of Engineers
ATONs = Aids TO Navigation such as buoys and daymarks
Aqua Map = a navigation app for Apple and Android devices
Bob423 Long Track = blue dotted line
How to download tracks - Lat / Lon: N 33° 55.255' / W 078° 14.127'

LOA: 42'
Draft: 4.0'I can confirm that there is 5 to 6 ft at low tide on the straight through track between greens 47 and 47B. It was confusing following the Aqua Maps chart because the straight through line was more prominent and the buoys 47A and 46A were not seen over on the shore route. Caution is needed here as it often is in Lockwoods Folly.

Draft: 4.5'Came through this area on 4/10 about 2 hours before low tide. A dredge is sitting on the shoal marked by G47a. Followed Bob423 track closely and saw no less than 12ft. There is a yellow can to the south of 47a which I believe is associated with the dredge operation and not an ATON.
