Blacklab25- I have rented the house at 959 Hawthorne Drive, Bracey, Virginia which if you google you will see is towards the back of one of the arms in Popular Creek. There was about 3-5 feet out in front of that dock. However, going back further from there it did shallow more to a flat with scattered stumps. We had a small group of bass boats down for an extended weekend. We had no issues getting back and forth to the house and yes Popular creek has some good fishing in it. Even caught a 15lb striper one day I was there in the creek. Hope this helps.
