About Stiltsville
Huge sandbars all over for 3 miles down and 1 miles wide for the biggest flat and clear water. Choppier in the channels with deeper water, but stay out of the way of boats passing by. Stay in the flats. Be careful with the houses in the water and the anchoring boats, mainly on weekends. Beautiful scenic and historic site of the 7 remaining houses built on the water in the 30's during the prohibition.
