    This is a well-protected anchorage with good holding, however it can be a bit tight particularly if you draw over 4.5'. Bottom is mud and a decent ball of weeds came up with the anchor. Make sure to heed the nav aids in the entrance channel as there is shoaling on both sides.

    There is a nice park on-shore and you can generally use the municipal marina to tie a dinghy for a bit. Harrisville does not have a lot to offer commerce-wise but it is a good place to stop.

    Verizon cell service was 1-2 bars.
