Anchorage Review for Lollipop Lake

Depths on our visit were 25-37 feet throughout the basin (Lollipop) so ensure lots of chain/rode. We set the hook after 3 tries with 175' out, set the hook, then took up some rode to lessen the swing radius, not that we had to, since nobody else showed up. Three gators were curious and swam past during the anchoring process. Any splash sound gets them interested. Marked lots of fish on the sounder, so fishing gear would've made for a nice diversion had I though to bring bait!! Overall, a very welcome change to the road noise associated with many of the other area docks (free or otherwise). Total peace and quiet; in short perfect for the cruiser who needs a break. Cheers!
