River Entrance 1/11/2007
Note that
there is a breaking bar across the entry channel. Also a huge
spit has built out from east to west along the shoreline and is
pinching the base of the channel closed. It looks like the
channel is probably only navigable by shallow draft boats.

Note that the spit crossing the channel
from east to west has forced tidal currents agains the west side of the
channel and is eroding the channel in an arc to the west just inland of
the base of the west jetty.
