Great mud bottom here which provided solid holding. On a Monday night in May, this creek had no boat traffic whatsoever and was very well protected. Made for a very pleasant overnight stay.

Out of the way from boat traffic and protected in all directions. No wake zone. All that said, we had to give up here due to our Delta anchor not holding well in the grassy bottom.

Anchorage Review for Corsica River - Rocky Point

Not much boat traffic on a Sunday in May except for some small fishing boats and skiffs. A few bars of ATT and Verizon cell service, enough to be decent but not outstanding. We didn't have a need to access shore, but could have gone upriver a bit to the Centreville wharf if needed.
