We had wonderful stay here for a couple of days. Beautiful setting. Restaurant was open while we were there. WiFi was great. Laundry is at the marina. Cellphone service is good. Docks were clean and electrical boxes worked well. Definitely a premier place to stop a get off the boat for a couple of days! We will be back here regularly. The harbor host even came to visit Bill Wilson!

Anchorage Review for Sledd Creek

We anchored here on Sunday October 16th 2022. Not where the anchor is dropped on Waterway Guide but across the way in about 8 feet of water. Able to watch the dam traffic from here. Saw deer on the beach area at sunset and heard turkeys. Probably should have moved further inside the creek area to get more out of the wind and waves but didn't want to anchor in front of peoples houses. Our preference. Definitely not a bad spot to anchor while you are waiting to go through the lock.

Loved our three days here at Kentucky Dam Marina. Break wall protects you from wind and waves. Very good Wi-Fi. We used Instacart for the very first time here and it worked fine out of Paducah. Clean showers and working laundry. Marina staff were very accommodating. Easy to get in and out.

Great place to stay or just stop for fuel! Easy access to fuel docks. Staff is very helpful and attentive. Wi-Fi easy half mile walk to beautiful new lodge. We were here for a week for the AGLCA Fall Rendezvous! Hiking trails, laundry showers. Many loopers stop here.

Anchored here last night. Great place to tuck away from river traffic. Very quiet night. Good holding. Eagles! We came in from downriver. Saw 10 feet lowest and turned into 20-40 feet very deep even close to shore. Plenty of room to swing. Exit upriver since we were headed to Fall Rendezvous at Paris Landing. If worried about depths just enter and exit upriver side!

So thankful for What yacht to Do's comments on this anchorage. Saved us from having a similar incident. Got into it around 7pm. Didn't go to far in depth 18 ft. Fishing boats in the morning. Beautiful spot. Great hold. Very little current. Come in from the north.

Great place to stay! Don't miss it. Wonderful marina owners. Internet, laundry, showers. Couldn't have asked for a nicer marina after a couple days on the hook. Very polite and accommodating staff. Park right beside the marina. Courtesy car!

Great anchorage beautiful. Short run to the dam. Near Honeycomb State Park and Erwin Marina store so you can stretch your legs. Very close to a gray bat cave that is pretty popular for boaters in the evenings!

Great Lock through Wheeler today. Lock master let us get right through even though he had a couple big barges on him. May have been a lucky coordination with them!

Great marina. Easy in and out. Arrived on a Tuesday, 12 July 2022. Fantastic service getting landed, fuel service, pump out and water then moved down to the transient slip. Little bit of rocking during the night while weather blew through. Wi-Fi was sketch. Pool was wonderful, cool water not warm. Restrooms were very clean and modern. Definitely recommend a stop here!

We anchored here last night 9 July 2022 right before a strong storm blew through. Plenty deep 21' plenty of room to swing 360°. Verified because as newby's we dropped our anchor in the wrong direction and Miss Arlene immediately swung completely around into the wind! Thunder and lightening, winds whipping but no movement of our anchor. Completely away from barge traffic. No boats passed us at all. Would definitely use this anchorage again. Large enough for multiple boats. Some homes on the northern shoreline of the cut! Lots of ginormous mayflies!

Perfect stop for new loopers. Fuel, fresh water pump out, garbage and best of all information! Easy fuel dock to get into even with the weather. We didn't need it thankfully but they will even send someone out to bring your boat into the fuel dock if you call them and tell them you lack the necessary skill or confidence.
