Thebes RR Bridge

Location: Upper Mississippi
Mile Marker: 43.9 RDB
Lat / Lon: N 37° 13.081' / W 089° 28.230'
Depth: 10
Description:
Anchor RDB just upstream of the Thebes RR Bridge mm 43.9 behind the wing dam extending from the shore in reported 10 – 12 feet of water normal pool. The anchorage is just off the channel and just out of the current and is subject to small counter currents that may make staying in one place difficult. This anchorage was used successfully at normal pool low water but was not considered to be a model anchorage.

We anchored with 4 other boats - 3 of us rafted two separate. The water is plenty deep 13 ft where I dropped our anchor close to the wing dam. There is no current close to the wing dam - because of wind we anchored bow downstream and set stern anchors - just stayed that way all night. The other two boats south swung back to a bow upstream state.
Caught a small tow wake one time not bad. There is some train noise - kinda cool to watch them cross the bridge. The dog walkers were able to get ashore on the RDB by the wings. There is a boat ramp on the LDB if you want to trip across the river with Fido. Not the best, but nice peaceful spot out of the way.
