• Location: Neuse River
• Lat / Lon: N 35° 03.648' / W 076° 56.344'
• Depth: 5+
• Tide: 3 feet
• Description:

  This is a wide creek with depths generally in the 7-10 foot range, although you'll find a few shallower spots in this area. Room for many boats, you'll often have this anchorage by yourself to just enjoy wildlife or nature. It's a good spot coming in/out of New Bern/Bridgeton to just get away from town. No services here. Most of the surrounding area is private. River is nice to explore by kayak or dinghy. Cell service was good with TMobile.

  DISCLAIMER: Before committing to an anchorage, you should confirm that the location is not governed by a regulation that may conflict with your plans. An increasing number of states and municipalities are enacting laws that define where and how long you may anchor.
