Fort George River Anchorage (Statute Mile 735)
We love to anchor on Fort George River, within sight of historic Kingsley Plantation. Swinging room is just a bit skimpy, and entering the river channel from the AICW can be a little tricky for first-timers.
On 4/9/2010 we entered Fort George River from the ICW, passing closely to the ICW (R’72’³) marker at the mouth and favoring the southern shore all the way past Kingsley Plantation. At dead low tide, we never saw less than 7 feet. We anchored just beyond the plantation and went ashore with the dinghy for a very informative visit of a unique piece of American history. Lots of no-see-ums and it is a main thoroughfare for a bunch of center-cockpits in a hurry, but they are gone after dark. Lots of current too, but a nice anchorage and lovely spot.
