Kent Narrows Nautical Chart

Kent Narrows is the shortcut between the Chester River and Eastern Bay — a dredged, well-marked channel with a bascule bridge and some of the strongest currents on the upper Bay. The chart shows the approach ranges, the marina row, and the shoals either side of the channel where depths thin to a foot or two. Time your passage for slack water if you're new to it.
