Review for Rattlesnake Bend - south
Reviewed by: Capt. Mac Rubel on Oct 22, 2021
LOA: 48'
Draft: 5.0'Overall Rating:4Holding:5Wind Protection:5Current Flow:5Wake Protection:5Scenic Beauty:4Ease of Shopping:1Shore Access:2Pet Friendly:2Cell Service:2The first half mile of South Rattlesnake Bend is occupied by barges and towboats. We therefore can be sure that there is a minimum of 10-12 feet of depth and you will not be disappointed.
More than 30 feet on entry, no less than 20 feet all the way back 1.1 miles, around the corner. We anchored in 18 feet of water with good holding and plenty of swing room. There is good protection from waves and wake in all directions. There is boat traffic so make sure your anchor light is on and working. There is room for any number of boats with swing room for everyone. There is no shore access. Cell service is adequate but not great: 1 bar Verizon and T-Mobile, 2 bars ATT.View location on the Waterway Guide Explorer
