Very nice anchorage, with 10' of water, good holding and plenty of swing room near old boat house. Other boats anchored in the other coves, all reporting similar conditions. Close to lock and well-protected

Bay is very good size, anchored with 2 30+ foot boats in this bay, more room in other adjacent bays. Entry is above lock and depth 10 feet plus entire route in. Anchored near DNR pier in 8-10 feet of water and excellent holding in mud and went ashore to view the visitor center which was very nice. One downside is that the DNR pier/Boathouse is lit up like an airport with BIG floods lights at night. Cell phone coverage was adequate for AT&T.
