Anchored in 30ft of water (Pickwick Tailwater depth 360.47 when anchored.....358.68 next morning. Kentucky Lake depth 355.6) with a one knot current directly across from the most upstream house. Beach area accessible. Great cell and Wi-fi. Anchor came up clean and depth good all the way through behind island (nothing less than 20 ft.) but you need to watch the charts when exiting on the upstream end. Some pleasure boat traffic during daylight hours. Peaceful night.

Anchored here overnight on our way downstream in early May when the current was strong. Anchor held well and felt protected from a 8-9 mph wind out of the WNW. There was a couple of small PW that went by but we were well away from barges on the channel.
