Mill Creek 2 - Solomons

Location: Patuxent River
Mile Marker: 97.5 West
Lat / Lon: N 38° 19.987' / W 076° 27.009'
Depth: 9 -11
Description:
Turning on to Mill Creek from the main channel puts you immediately in a different and much more residential world. Well protected and well developed, anchor in 12-15 feet of water in the little pockets on the sides of the creeks. Depths carry in close to the shores so you can "hug" the edges a bit more than you might normally. Holding is good in mud.

Turn into Mill Creek at Red 2 and proceed up the channel one half mile and anchor in 12 feet MLW in one of two "pockets" opposite Red 4. Unfortunately, the pockets were occupied so we took a turn to starboard and went further up Mill Creek to Green 7 and anchored at the mouth of Spring Cove on the opposite side of the channel in 13 foot MLW with excellent holding in light mud. Protection from wind, wake, and current is good and the neighborhood is quiet. The difference between Mill Creek and downtown Solomon's Island, only a mile away is remarkable. If you want to go into town you can take a protected 1 mile dinghy ride and tie up (with permission) to the dock at one of the marinas for shopping or dinner. Grocery shopping would be more complicated as the closest supermarket is about two miles up the road. Cellular service is very good.

Nice place to stop. Easy tender ride to restaurants. Anchorage is off main channel thoroughfare so wakes are received with few boaters being "that person". Serious shopping would require a car ride.
