New Teakettle Creek Anchorages (Statute Mile 647)
New Teakettle Creek, which runs off the AICW’s passage through (guess what), Old Teakettle Creek, offers several overnight anchorages. The marsh grass shores do not give the best protection in really heavy weather, but, hey, that’s true of most coastal anchorages in the Peach State.
An anchorage I had always meant to try, but had never fit into my travel day. Planned it out, anchored up past Mary Creek about 0.5 mi, a little bit to port of the charted deep water, and had good anchorage, with 10-15 kts out of the NE.

We anchored in New Teakettle last night, Nov 15, and got in just at sunset and near high tide. There were about 6 boats already there, and lots of room left over. We anchored in about 20′ at high water, and found the holding to be excellent. Not only that, but that chain and anchor came up clean! Lots of room to swing, and the chorus from the marsh creatures (frogs? birds?) was like nothing we’ve ever heard before, and this is our 6th or 7th trip on the ICW

Anchored there in opur 41′ boat; also anchored in Duplin River (mm649.3) and anchored 11/04, 5/05 and 11/09 in Back River (mm651.3) in our 53′. There is lots of current, but plenty of room to swing; enter on North side and anchor on south side as the north side is cused by fishing boats. Also anchored: 5/06 (mm525.5) Cattle Pen Creek, 5/05 (630.0) Wahoo River.
We have also anchored many times in Frederica River (mm665.7 to 673.4). We look forward to Georgia anchorages when the bugs are not too plentiful!
