Vessel Type: Power
LOA: 42'
Draft: 4.0'We were here on Oct. 14, 23 with a number of boats. The wall was full and we had 1 rafted boat. Lock master was kind, we had good weather so that wasn't an issue. There was an obstruction outside of the lock so be sure to keep an eye open. I was able to dinghy over to an old boat launch and pull the dinghy up to walk the dog at the COE campground. Great stop.

Vessel Type: Power
LOA: 25'
Draft: 2.0'Great quiet spot just 1/4 mile up river When arriving at mouth of river, notify lock via VHF 14 or call 618-284-7160 for permission to stay. Preferred tie up on dam side of jetty with cleats. Plug in 15 amp outlets under light fixtures on jetty. No wake or current & good wind protection.
