The mouth of the river is maintained by at least 2 marinas and maybe more, the 2 that I know for sure that maintain it are Beef Creek Marina and Paradise Acers Campground and Marina. I do know that after the Labor Day weekend the channel dredging is over for the year, so that leaves at least a month and a half that there is no dredging. It is uncertain as to when they will dredge for the first time this year and it was late April or early May when they dredged for the first time last year. The bouys are also maintained by Beef Creek but am not sure who paid for the new bouys that were installed last year. I don't know where you dock at on the river so I can not give you a report about the water depth near your Marina. Be aware that the Bridge accross the river at Porky's on Rt 2 is closed for repairs until May 25 of this year so don't come down Rt. 2 form the Bessie side to access Beef Creek or Paradise Acers. There is also a reverse raffle available to help maintain the dredging operation and I believe it has a 50% pay back with the other half going to the dredging fund. PM me if interested and I will point you in the right direction.
