Follow the chartplotter as you exit the river. The channel has a sharp turn to port -- don't cut the corner. Follow the buoys toward the marina. Exit the channel before the last red buoy going to the starboard. Depth should be about 20' feet. Anchor on top of the underwater rise in 8.7' (elevation 355 winter pool for Kentucky Lake). Anchor held great.

Follow the secondary markers towards RDB leaving main channel at mm 73.6. Markers define the old creek bed so the channel wanders some. Honor all marks as you zig towards the south bank and then zag back towards the north bank turning directly towards the marina just off the west shore. The anchorage icon is in the secondary channel in 15 feet of water winter pool. You can move towards the west shore to anchor in 20 feet of water with good protection or continue on towards the marina and the zig to the east in 15 feet of water to find favorable anchorage spots in the first half of the inner bay on the north and south shores. Shore access at the marina or the landing on the north shore beyond the marina. Cell coverage 2 bars.
