Range Markers Line up the Dredged Channel

Finding your way into Hoskins Creek is easy!  Courtesy of the Army Corps of Engineers, the channel is dredged every few years giving a typical 10 foot working depth at MHW all the way up to the Purdue grain elevator.  Just make sure at buoy #1 you line up the two range markers and keep them in line all the way in - the channel shelves to 3 feet immediately outside the dredged area!  On the chart above, the range markers have been marked with a red dot - RYC is shown as a blue box.  Note the wreck of the Caponka on the right hand side of the chart - more about the wreck in a future news report.
