    We've anchored here five times over the past 4 years and it has been a reliable and comfortable stop each time. Two- to three-bars of AT&T coverage and good enough WiFi for us to do our jobs. There are a lot of flying insects during in every season except winter. We know people who've taken their dogs ashore, but they lost boots and shoes in the knee-deep mud and would likely not recommend this anchorage as one that is pet friendly. You are well protected from wakes caused by barges and boats on the main river, but you'll be rocked by smaller boats as they pass on the cutoff. Easy in and easy out, good hold, very little mud on the anchor.

    Kingfisher Bay is the best of the best!

    We've spent many days here over the past couple years and the team and facilities have always been top notch.

    It's obvious that the entire team knows boating and boaters, and they stop at nothing to make your visit pleasurable.
