Local bay names?

Lakegeezer · 09-30-2016, 10:29 AM

Does anyone know if there are local names for the bays out from Balmoral and the area between Greens Basin and the area coming down from Lees Mills? On the diagram, I've labeled these areas ?#1 and ?#2. I've seen area 1 called Moultonborough Bay, but that is generally considered the area above Melvin Bay, but before the narrows start to the north.

Hanson Cove is the finger to the right of Greene's Basin and Ambrose Cove is further down. I call those places "echo rock bay" and "the place we go tubing sometimes."

I do not know of a name for either 1 or 2. Correct that Hanson Cove is the one to the right of Greens Basin but Ambrose is the first smaller cove 2 down from States Landing.

Ambrose Cove is the first cove north of Clark Landing.

Hanson cove is the southern finger before the opening to Greens Basin. The first southern finger is Raouls Cove according to the Bizer map. I'm asking about the whole body of water between FL52 and Greens Basin. Maybe neither of these bodies of water have a local name, but both could use one. #1 is probably a cove or bay while #2 could be a basin, since it has narrows on both ends.
