Anchorage Review for Ortega River

Reviewed by: Joe Mittauer on Nov 26, 2021
Vessel Type: Power
LOA: 48'
Draft: 5.0'

The river bed is 2-3' of soft mud and boats constantly pull loose. There is a 5 mile reach that allows Nor'easters to build white capped waves in an area that you would think is protected. There is no speed restriction so beware of wake. Also, lots of debris on strong outgoing tides.
This area is not suitable for anything beyond an overnight on a soft summer night.
