Navy Bay

Navy Bay

This location is in between RMC and Fort Henry. You can park by the tanks and wade in from the end of the bay. This is not recommended due to the weeds and the shallowness of the bay. Parking is close to the sailing buildings and will allow you to walk right into the water from where your car is parked. This is the location of the Royal dock yard for the British navy until it closed in 1835. Multiple ship and gun boats were built and launched here. The bay is fairly well protected. During the boating season the bay is used frequently for a lot of pleasure boats. A dive flag is required and caution is advised. There is a trench in the middle of the bay that does give you some depths about 15-20 ft. There are rumors of a two man sub being sunk somewhere is the bay. In front of the Martello Tower the remains of an old munitions dock is found. This is not deep, about 10 ft but makes for interesting part of Fort Henry. With the area having a lot of pleasure boat traffic, you are never sure what you may find. The most common type of fish here would be perch.
