Old school. Charming…In fact, the old wharf is no longer there, but the dock remains, and its owners have painted the tops of the pilings white, which makes them easier to see from out on the river. The directions for Queenstown Creek, which has a shallower, trickier entrance, are, if anything, even duckier.
Just ask Kris. Reed also has a narrow entrance, though it does not to my knowledge benefit from landmark directions. Instead, I suggest you dial up the sonar-chart function on your Navionics app or read the directions in the Cruise Guide.
Over the years, I have used both methods. Reed does have some lovely anchorages, though, whichever way you get in.
Its neighbor, Grove Creek, is shallow, so avoid it unless you draw very little or are paddling a canoe. The Corsica River is pretty, but Langford Creek is beautiful. Langford has two nice marinas near its entrance with locations to die for—Long Cove is in a well-protected corner a mile upstream, and Lankford Bay sits on a lovely bay two miles up. Just beyond, lies popular Cacaway Island, where the water is deep nearly to shore on the east side, making it one busy place on summer weekends.
From there you can take either the East Fork or the West Fork an additional two to three miles. But if you do find yourself in the neighborhood, turn in at the old mill pond to find the cemetery. It is worth the trip on its own, but it is also the final resting place of Tallulah Bankhead.
Okay, we really need to move on here. The Corsica is a short but exceedingly pleasant river with some nice anchorages. From there you can walk into town.
All that is very nice and interesting and worth the trip, but the Corsica has a very special peculiarity of its own: a Russian dacha.
You can spot the red-brick main house through the trees from the Chester. The house and grounds were originally the estate of John Jacob Raskob, a general all-round tycoon best known for building the Empire State Building.
The Soviet government bought the property in as a recreational spot for their embassy employees. Locals immediately speculated that nuclear submarines would soon be surfacing out on the Chester. The dacha was most recently in the news in December when President Obama ordered it closed after evidence came to light that Russia had meddled in the presidential election.

Open water is not considered to be of bathing quality as it can contain sewage, livestock contamination, and pollution from farming or industry. Anyone can become unwell from swimming in open water as there will always be micro-organisms present. Because of this, we do not encourage swimming in the river Dee.
