    Waverly Recreation Area

    November 16, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 45 °F

    This morning we woke to 40 degrees and fog which didn’t burn off until about 9am… just about the time we were going thru our first of three locks. After our second lock we decided to head over to the Blue Bluff Recreation Area. Because we are basically in a canal there’s limited options for anchoring. We’ve found the USACE Recreation Areas to be great here especially with a pup onboard. They are very nice and have great shore access. Blue Bluff at the Aberdeen lock actually has a boat dock which was donated by several local businesses. It was a bit tricky getting to the dock but we figured it out. Blue Bluff was a nice lunch break but then we continued for another couple hours doing one more lock before dropping anchor for the night. Waverly Recreation Area is right before the Stennis Lock. We are anchored off the boat ramp. There’s a trail here that leads to a large areas with picnic tables and pavilions but season is over and everything is closed… except the boat ramp and walking trail. We pretty much have the place to ourselves. 42 miles today.Read more
