Entrance canal is intimidating with downed trees, but plenty of room. Entrance is shallower than the canal, probably 8-10 feet at 355 pool. Sharp right turn at the entrance to the lake, avoid the red arrow on a stick. We anchored near the two reds in 10 feet. Very peaceful. The entrance canal scenery is spectacular.

Stayed June 10th, 2022. Agree with previous comments. Did find 3 downed trees spaced widely with ample clearance and depth. Entrance shallowed out to about 8 ft but more than 12 into lake. Stay wide of pole with red marker as it is shallow near it.

Don't let the narrow entrance scare you off. Follow the channel markers in & it opens up into a big lake. Anchor just past the small entrance when you turn to starboard. Three boats, 37?- 3ft draft, 44? ? 5 ft draft, & 36 ? 3ft draft, anchored here with plenty of room and plenty of water.
