Anchored near the mouth, 5-8 feet of water in the center about 500 yards in. Room for multiple boats. Favor the left bank going in. Very little current, just enough to hold you if there is no wind. Pool at 109 feet.
Very scenic, very quiet. No shore access but a great spot overall.

If coming downriver allow at least 200 yards beyond the tail of the island before turning off the channel towards RDB and moving upriver in the chute with 11 feet at the entrance, favoring the shore side of the bend. Move upriver towards the tail of the island, continuing to favor the shore side of the chute. Move in to the tail of the island to anchor in 10 feet of water or continue up the shore side of the chute to the anchorage icon with better protection and still with 9 to ten feet of water with adequate swing room considering there is a mild downstream current holding the boat in line with the channel. Wind, wave, and wake protection is excellent with the exception of the N/S axis where there is a clear fetch for waves. Holding is good in mud. There is no immediate shore access available for Fido. Cell service is good with ATT and Verizon having 3 bars and T-Mobile having 2 bars 5G.
