Anchorage at the mouth of Mattawoman Creek where it opens onto the Potomac River, near Indian Head, Maryland.
Guide
Approach and anchoring
Leave the Potomac channel near red mark 46 and steer for Mattawoman green 1. The entrance lies open to the west and north, so this outer position is exposed in those winds. Move further into the coves for better shelter.
Practical
Anchor over mud in 6 to 9 feet, holding rated good. The spot suits a short stop or a fair-weather overnight rather than a blow. Pilot House Marina and Hampton's Landing Marina lie around 3.7 miles to the north-west.
