A word of caution to sailors and powerboaters: the shoal at the mouth Selden Creek, starting just east of marker “33”, has recently extended into the channel. Keep to the west and south of the channel at this part of the river or you might find yourself hard aground.
Pratt Cove and Post Cove, slightly south of the landing near Brewer Deep River Marina, are other wonderful small-boat and paddling venues. With 200 acres of pristine, freshwater tidal marsh, there is a variety of plants and waterfowl to see in these small, meandering waterways.
As you can see, there’s a lot to keep boaters busy in Deep River, both on land and on the water. So, for a serene boating destination with quick access to a great town, pay a visit to Deep River. You may just stay a while.
