Herb River Anchorage (Statute Mile 584.5)
On 6/9/08, as part of a “Georgia Wish List,” I posed the following question:I’ve only dropped hook a couple of times in the Herb and found it to be fine. Be sure to extol the nice little restaurant – Bonna Bella – that lies just a few miles up the Herb River. (Mid tide or better for anyone worried about draft. First come, first served dock available at the restaurant. Not a large menu, but some very tasty items and a full bar. Great outdoor and indoor dining with great views of the marsh and creeks.

Who has anchored lately on the waters of Herb River (Statute Mile 584.5). On what part of the river did you drop the hook? Did you find adequate swinging room and/or holding ground?

We anchored in the lower reaches — before any houses fronting the water. We still felt unwelcome. Passing local boats clearly didn’t like us there.
It appears they all like to “gun it” just past the houses and we interfered with this.
Given the Georgia tides, I would not want to encounter a wind shift at low tide on anchor.
