    We anchored here to get off the boat and walk for couple hours. Would be great overnight. Campground and easy access and walking. Depth 8-12 ft all the way back to big open grass area. Wind and current had us swinging a bit but plenty wide.

    Very nice anchorage. Enter south of larger island through marked channel. Many stumps sticking up north of large island. No wake bouy ends channel. We anchored 2-44 ft cruiser yachts with room for more. Storm came through with some winds and we were safe. Room to swing on anchor but we rafted opposite and each dropped bow anchor because of expected storm. Boat ramp and park with pavilion and charcoal grille right there. We had small campfire at the point on the sand well before storm and it was beautiful. Always careful to water all fire ash thoroughly.

    Good anchor hold. Had 2 43-44 ft cruiser yachts rafted side by side and anchored opposite each other for hold. Had 8 ft depth even 15 ft off shore. Felt some river traffic 150 ft in but we could have gone back further as depth was good. Poor access to shore for pets but still doable.

    Nice break to tie to floating dock at Riverview restaurant. Over 200 ft of dock. Easy walk or dinghy ride across the river to town and park with walking trail. Brewery and shops downtown. We enjoyed it. Free dock. We had drinks and appetizers at restaurant to offset no dock fee. Pet friendly.

    Nice facilities. Courtesy car. Coin Laundry. Bergman marine mechanic on site was able to order turbo. Fuel dock was closed 10/20/22 and water will be turned off 10/26/22. The restaurant and bar was closed but looks like a really nice place for summer season.

    Must book through Dockwa. Electric extra. Not protected from River traffic waves. Be sure to watch for obstruction noted on Navionics or other but we had to move the second day and forgot not to cross from bridge to ground
