We were down bound. Be sure to go well past the island and hug the right descending red clay bank of the oxbow. One other boat anchored with us. Room for lots more. Very quiet and peaceful night.

20 Oct 23 Sam at GreatLoopAcademy.com on a training trip with a 430 Mainship with a 3' 8" draft. Chose this spot on a fast 3 day run to Demopolis from Counce. We were running sun up to sun down each day. Did five locks and ran out of daylight. Turned into anchorage and found two other boats anchored. Dropped the anchor at33°1.526'N • 88°13.780'W in 12' of water. Current kept us straight. Peaceful night. Anchor came up clean. Departed 30 min before sunrise. Great T-Mobile and good Verizon service.

Previous reviews are still current. Entrance as described. We went into 6' water dropped the hook. Great holding Had we gone further it gets 20' deep pretty much all the way out the north entrance. Saw occasional night fisherman. T Mobile gets Two bars able to make calls and surf the web. Cow pasture is where people are taking the dogs.

Saw at least 10' feet of water several hundred feet up. Turned back to where it was a little wider because the wind was bringing us toward the bank. 60' of chain and snubber. Not much current, so we swung with the wind, but enough room to swing so that no stern anchor was required. Anchor came up clean with just a little bit of sandy mud. Great (Verizon) cell signal.

Enter the chute going upriver from at least 200 yards below the tail of the island to avoid the bar trailing downriver. Move over to 50 feet off the RDB moving upcurrent in 15 feet of water. Just before the tail of the island move center channel for good anchoring in 10 to 1 feet of water with good protection from wind and waves from all directions except from the east. Good holding in mud and a small current to help you stay oriented with the chute direction. No shore access. Cellular quality is 3 bars for the big three.

Nice anchorage. favored the west bank going in. Don't cut the corner. Went several hundred yards into the cut and dropped anchor in 12 feet of water. Water was 2 feet above pool. Took dogs ashore at mouth of cut into a cow pasture. It was a muddy landing.

Enter along west bank from mm 286, as per Skipper Bob. Room to swing, but we set both anchors easily and had a peaceful night.
