Turn towards RDB and the Mississippi River at the 2.0 mile marker and green buoy in 16' normal pool of water at the turn and go south back upstream with a minimum of 9' or better throughout the anchorage and plenty of swing room. Anchorage is open to south winds and has a good current running through it. Also the anchorage is a shortcut for boats coming from or going to the Mississippi River so be prepared for some boat traffic. Grafton Marina is two miles downriver for shore access. Cell service is good for all three carriers.
