South Creek Lower Anchorage
Lat/Lon: 32 34.208 North/080 12.426 West
Location: South Creek makes into the North Edisto’s southwestern banks, south of Bohicket Creek’s southern mouth; this anchorage lies between the “9” foot sounding noted on chart 11522, and the “sy” notation.
Minimum Depth: 6 to 13 feet (SEE SPECIAL NOTE BELOW)
Swing Room: sufficient room for vessels as large as 36 feet
