We followed all the rules and couldn't find anything above 4 feet at the narrow channel to get to the Anchorage. Since we draw 4 1/2 feet, we turned around towards the top of the dam. Water was deep there, but we were concerned that we wouldn't be out of the channel enough. After we contacted the Lock, he told us that we could tie up on the wall above the dam. He actually came out and guided us to the wall. This was a great spot for overnight, but only room for one vessel.

Turn off the channel just before engaging the lock and look for secondary markers to guide you to LDB boat launch. Water shoals to 6 feet quickly and then moves at that depth three quarters of the way towards the boat landing. Depending on your draft and your nerves, move in towards shore and anchor in what appears to be a large, relatively flat area in 5-6 feet of water. Based on our draft we did not push in but it appears that there is a good anchorage for smaller boats in good weather with shore access at the boat launch. We did not record cell coverage.
