Bull Creek Anchorage (South of Calibogue Sound and Hilton Head Island – Statute Mile 565.5)
As part of a 4/30/13 South Carolina Wish List, we posed the following question:
Statute Mile 565.5 ‘“ Who has dropped the hook on Bull Creek, north of AICW marker #34? How far upstream did you cruise before anchoring? What depths did you find on these waters?
Responses follow:
Bull Creek, one of my favorite anchorages. I go up around the first bend and anchor off the dock. There is some shallow water there so you don’t need to put out too much rode. However, it drops off fast so you want to be sure you don’t drag into the hole at the bend in a strong westerly wind. There can be enough fetch in such conditions to make it less comfortable than you might expect. Some boat traffic going to and from Bluffton by the back way.
