Newfound Harbor - Picnic Island
- Location: Newfound Harbor, FL
- Mile Marker: 1215
- Lat / Lon: N 24° 38.277' / W 081° 23.741'
- Depth: 8 MLLW
- Tide: 1.5 ft
- Description:
Follow the channel as shown in Aqua Map or your chartplotter for 5.2 MLLW at the shallowest spot on the way in. Once into the anchorage, the depth deepens to 7 to 8 MLLW. There is better weather protection from wave action than it appears due to the dampening action of the nearby shoals.
The island is a local favorite for pet owners, it's like a dog park where pets can run free. It was devastated by the last hurricane but the island is still there.
