Location: Upper Mississippi River
Mile Marker: 2.0 LDB
Lat / Lon: N 36° 58.743' / W 089° 09.435'
Depth: 10 feet
Description:
Good hold in mud. Approx 10-20 ft. 10 ft closer to shore. Watch for shoal that protrudes close to the bridge and comes into this anchor channel. Stay close to the Center of the anchor channel. Anchorage is off the main current. No stern anchor needed as current will keep you straight. Do not cut the edge of the island. Easy in and easy exit

Beautiful spot off the channel. Be sure to come in from downstream. We bumped turning the corner. With the lower water level on the Miss, there are many downed trees visible. We found 9' and the anchor held well. No current. I would not use this spot with any wind over 10 knots no matter the direction.

River just below action stage, lots of debris still. Anchored favoring LDB to minimize drift debris. 24' At normal pool this is a very good anchorage.

Almost on the anchor marker, at the point, 13' of water, little current. Shallows quickly and banks are muddy. Took dog 1/2 mile up stream and bottom was gravel. Very little wake from barges going by.
