Emmanual Bend Anchorage (St. Johns River, south of Lake George)

I did not ask about the anchorage Randall and Susan describe below in my recent "St. Johns River Wish List," as I thought the list was getting over long. However, I do cover this overnight haven in "Cruising Guide to Eastern Florida," I agree that is is an excellent stop!

Another anchorage we have enjoyed is at charted Emanuel Bend, marker #96.  Again, very soft mud.  We use the S entrance and favor the N side as charted.  Good at least for 4 feet, not sure of depths.  Good anchorage for a dinghy trip up the Wekiva River, where we've seen some of the largest gators we've seen in 35 years of Florida living.
