Pascal Reports on The AICW/Little Mud River Problem Stretch (Statute Mile 655)
The Little Mud River section of the AICW, particularly the section just north of the Waterway’s intersection with Altamaha Sound, is universally considered to be the WORST single stretch of the passage from Norfolk, VA to Miami, Florida
I always time Little Mud River to have some tide. North bound, the key is to stay on the range and then turn to split the range marker with G195 (pass in the middle). It gets very shallow near the green, on a windy day, takes the wind into account, for instance with Westerly winds, pass even further from the Green. North of the green, it remains shallow all the way to around the bend, with as little as 5′ in some spots. Take it slow and use your sounder to find the least shallow water.
