Easy entry through well marked channel. At the time seemed deeper overall than the chart. Several boats were there when we entered. Only a few spent the night. Worst experience with deer flies that we've had. They were plentiful and vicious. Once we got everything buttoned up and A/C on we were safe. Anchor set immediately and current kept us facing up stream but was not enough to be noisy. Very rural area on the east side of the river. Good anchorage except for the flies (in late June).
