We came in here after transiting the canal. Entry is easy and straight-forward. Depths are as charted. Anchored at high tide in 9' and saw 6' MLW. Admittedly is was a weekend, but the small boats race through the canal and up/down the river at top speed which makes the anchorage a bit folly. Coupled with the numerous cigarette boats is was pretty noisy until well after sunset.

Bohemia River has shoaled in some and, were it not for the fact that we were entering on a rising tide and would be leaving near a 3 foot high tide, we would probably not have anchored here for the night. The entry started at 12 feet mlw but decreased to 6 feet MLW getting back to the anchorage. At the anchorage icon we found about 5.5 feet MLW with good holding in mud. The spot is exposed from the north/northwest but has good wave and wind protection from all directions with a southerly component. This is definitely a fair weather anchorage. We were comfortable but were glad to move on in the morning. Vessels drawing less than five feet will be able to move closer to shore for protection from southerly weather but discretion left us at the icon.

There is the possibility of shore access but we could not find any in the cove as all the land was clearly private. The closest shore access might be at one of the marinas about 1.5 miles across the river to the north. Cell service was good for all carriers.

This is a good overnight stop. There's nothing to do here - it looks purely residential. Maybe use it as staging for going through the C&D Canal at the best time.

But the holding was good and the depths were accurate.
