Vernon River Anchorage (Statute Mile 597)
The upstream portion of Vernon River, abandoned by the AICW, lies northwest of (now being dredged) Hell Gate. There are several good places to drop the hook here, as noted below by Captains Judy and Bob.
Subject: Vernon River anchorage
Cruising News: The Vernon River northbound beyond Hells Gate, north of the ICW cut off heading to Isle of Hope, is a great anchorage with room for a number of boats. The depth on the northwestern side of the river runs around eight feet at low tide. Anchor in the shallow area just beyond the two “permanent” fishing trawlers.
