Depth: 5
Tide: 2
Description:
Quiet, well protected anchorage. Picturesque surroundings with scattered houses. Narrow channel leads into spacious area between seven to twelve feet deep that can accommodate quite a few boats. Menchville Marina is the public one which looks to be in need to of some tlc. Deep Creek Landing Marina is nice and clean with reasonable fuel prices and friendly service. Costco is a scooter ride there and Uber back for us being only 3.5 miles away. Other shopping also available within 4 miles.

Public dock area looks sketchy. Deep Harbor Landing offers day dockage at a couple of dollars per foot.

Love this anchorage. Long narrow channel opens up into a spacious well protected area between 12 and 7 feet deep. There are three small privately owned marinas/yacht club and one public marina. Great holding. We only frequented Deep Creek Landing, which was clean with friendly service and reasonable diesel prices. They allowed us to day dock our tender for two days for $20....you may be able to use the public dock area for free, but frankly it looks sketchy. Every type of shopping and restaurant is available by bike or scooter within 4 miles including Costco and Walmart. We have electric scooters and everything was easily accessible. The creek is host to a fleet of oyster fishermen. All were courteous and no wake activity was noticed. Very nice little creek to spend some time in.
