Navigation:
Broad Creek, which forms the primary harbor for Deltaville, is used by oystermen, fishing boats, and yachts. A dredged entrance channel, marked by a light, buoys, and daybeacons, leads from the Rappahannock River to natural depths of 7 to 5 feet inside the creek. In 2011, the midchannel controlling depth in the creek was 8.5 feet.
