Suwannee River empties into the N part of Suwannee Sound through the three mouths known as East Pass, West Pass, and Wadley Pass. Wadley Pass is the main entrance. West Pass is little used, and good only for shallow draft boats. A private light and daybeacons mark the entrance to West Pass. In 1994, East Pass had a controlling depth of 2 feet.
The entrance channel to Wadley Pass, dredged by the Suwannee River Authority, leads on a bearing of 102° from a point in the Gulf about 1.4 miles 260° from Axe Island (29√Ç°18.8’N., 83°10.5’W.), thence through Wadley Pass S and E of Little Bradford Island to its junction with West Pass. At the SE end of Little Bradford Island, a branch channel leads N through Northwest Pass, thence NE into Salt Creek to the village of Suwannee. Suwannee is also fronted on its E side by the Suwannee River. In 2006, the controlling depth was 2.2 feet in the entrance channel, thence 3.6 feet in Wadley Pass to its junction with West Pass; thence in 1986, 3 feet on the centerline in Northwest Pass and Salt Creek to Suwannee. Private lights and daybeacons mark these channels.
