Curious, some info, where, what river, is there anything around like restaurants or bars, trying to learn something here, looks great though.

The Gorge, Colorado River, few miles above Lake Havasu by boat. Sometimes see wild donkeys and big horn sheep boating through there. :)

Yes like Carbon said Colorado above Havasu and the 2 hot spots right now for food and drink are Topock and Pirates Cove:
This is a pic I have of Pirates

Thanks guys, I've been to Hava once and never went upstream, weonly stayed on the Lake, can you go up river from the Lake or is there a dam or some kind of structure that wouldn't allow a boat up river.

Joey, you can start out at Parker Dam(retains Lake Havasu) and travel North by water all the way to Laughlin NV/Davis Dam(retains Lake Mojave). I think its 70 miles plus or minus. The river gets shallow above Needles, CA and is risky in a prop boat if you dont know it well. There are many rock bars and its difficult to judge water depth when traveling on plane. I navigated it twice, once succesfully and once I ruined a prop, hence why its popular for jet boats and jet skis North of Needles.

Thanks C, when we were there we pretty much stayed between London Bridge and the sand bar in this pic, you probably know which one it is, we had a chessy rental boat, we had a great time though.

Yup, those are in the channel, the equivalent of your Party Cove. :D

We did stop by, I think it's Copper Canyon, not much going when we drove through so we went further up the Lake and beached out hot rental boat, it killed me to have a beautiful boat at home and pay to rent a cruddy boat.

We'll get you on a boat next time you come out.

Maybe next Summer we'll do a Havasu Vegas trip like we did last time we went to the Lake.

The 21 Howard Robinson is selling in the classifieds was my buddies Dads first then when his Dad ordered this he bought the 21 from his Dad. They keep their boats clean as hell which Robinson can attest too.
