Our experience
The anchorage is very busy, yet also very calm!
It is possible to leave the dinghy at the Deltaville marina for $5. Why not take the opportunity to settle on one of our very first real waterfront terraces!
Jackson Creek 2, Deltaville
Jackson Creek is a natural waterway located in Deltaville, in Middlesex County, Virginia. It opens onto the Piankatank River, north of the Chesapeake Bay, and is one of the main anchoring and mooring areas of this maritime community. The area sometimes referred to as Jackson Creek 2 corresponds to a mooring zone in this creek, frequented by recreational boaters who cruise the bay.
The creek is lined with marinas, private docks and waterfront properties. Several marine-related businesses offer docking, maintenance, repair and provisioning services for pleasure craft. Deltaville is known for its concentration of marine services, notably its shipyards and specialized workshops.
Mooring conditions vary according to position within the creek, the depths available and the nature of the bottom. Boaters should consult up-to-date nautical charts to identify channels, shallow areas and private facilities. Traffic from pleasure boats and service vessels can be significant near the marinas.
On shore, Deltaville includes shops, restaurants and services for residents and visitors. The Deltaville Maritime Museum, located nearby, showcases the boatbuilding and fishing heritage of the region. Holly Point Nature Park, which is part of the same site, offers trails and natural areas along the water.
Jackson Creek therefore provides convenient access to Deltaville’s marine services and to the waters of the Piankatank River. Dinghy landings, however, depend on the facilities available and the permission of dock owners.
