Great protection wind and current, nearly no swing on the anchor overnight. Great to be out of the way of most boaters passing on the main river. There is a tour boat that comes through as do kayaks. Wildlife abounds, lots of gators, turtles, herons, egrets, cormorants, and cranes. Beautiful nature sounds of fish jumping and frogs croaking.

Muddy bottom holds well, stay to the north side of the waterway for deepest water.
