Goat Island Anchorage (AICW Dismal Swamp Canal Alternate Route, St. M. 43.5)
On 5/9/13, as part of a North Carolina Wish List, we posed the following question:
Dismal Swamp Canal Route, Statute Mile 43.5 ‘“ who has dropped anchor behind Goat Island, between AICW/Pasquotank River markers #11 and #13? Did you enter this anchorage to the southern or northern side of the Goat Island? What depths did you discover? Please share your overall impressions of this anchorage.
Responses follow:
The upper reaches of the Pasquotank River to Dismal Canal and Goat Island are the most beautiful that we have experienced in extensive NC cruising from Swansboro to Norfolk. We do use the southern side of Goat/#11 and find good holding and protection in 8 ‘“ 9 feet of water.
