This anchorage was a peaceful and relaxing stay. The holding was good and light winds provided a cool breeze for the evening. Only one train came through over the evening and small fishing bosts didn't come through until 7a. We found depths of 16-17 feet on average. Highly recommend overnighting here.

Great stop after the Locks. 14-15' deep, good holding. Train passes occasionally but it's not super loud. No tugs but a few bass boats came through both at night and early morning. No-see-ums found us in the morning but no mosquitos this time of year.

Easy access. Anchoring area is approx 250 feet wide by 500 feet long. I went approx 2/3 of the way in and anchored in 15 ft with good set and holding. You will have almost no wave action from all wind directions but current is or can be very strong. I had a strong southeast wind and anticipated a set to the northwest. Ended up with a NNE set on rising tide and a SSW set on falling tide. Very quite except for a few trains and occasional fisherman. Overall very nice.

Easy, off the waterway spot. Good depths and holding. Surprisingly few insect issues, even in August.
