Anchored in 30ft of water in light breeze across from rock breakwater and Becks Branch Creek. 55lb Mantus anchor set immediately and came up clean. Some pleasure boat traffic but most slowed down. Current kept boat parallel to shore and motored straight out next morning. Could dinghy to island if needed. Wi-fi and cell service very spotty.

Kentucky Lake Pool 355.9.

Great anchorage unless there is floating debris in the river. Current will keep you pointing south. Dinghy access to the island for pets, LDB of the river is all private property. Very beautiful, plus a great place to fish while you are there.

Enter the Denson's Island Chute mid channel from the north going upstream in 30+ feet of water winter pool. Depth at anchorage icon is 40 feet. There is a 1 mph current moving through the chute so move towards island from center channel to the appropriate anchoring depth. Good holding in mud. The current will keep you oriented in all but the heavy weather coming from the north. Good wind and wave protection. One bar cellular service. No shore access. Leave the anchorage by continuing south in the chute and stay on LDB until you get to the prominent rock outcropping in shore.

Beautiful stop here, well away from the tows and sheltered from their wakes.
