I was leary of taking my big boat in with a 4 1/2 ft draft for fear of kicking up stumps off the bottom. However, the dingy run in was a really cool trip. We were the only boat in the harbor at the time. We tied up and walked into town. My one regret was not taking our bicycles with us. It would have made it a six star if we did.

We did not anchor in this anchorage (we were docked at the free wall). Since no one has reviewed the anchorage I thought it important to have some input from someone who has been here. We drove our dingy around the anchorage and noticed a couple of submerged logs that have come over the falls. (We also saw a couple of logs stuck on the rocks above the falls.) There is great shore access in several places. There is wind protection from all directions. I would anchor here if the free dock is full, but I would use a trip line in the anchor in case there are sunken logs on the bottom. If the bottom is good I would give this anchorage 5 stars. The anchorage does not deserve a bad rating from someone that didn't anchor there. Since I cannot submit a review without a rating, I chose to give it a neutral rating of 3 stars.
