Why is Lake Havasu so popular with big fast boats?

[GRADS]

I don't get it. You see some of the fastest biggest boats in the western United States in Havasu....why? I hear the town itself is a shithole....there are nicer bodies of water....if a boater wants to stretch their legs there are better places. Is it because of spring break?

Because the ocean is too scary for most offshore boat owners. :gayfight2:

I really don't know the answer to the question Grads, but it is not dock friendly for large boats either.

Open mouth, insert foot. You're sooo good at that.

Havasu is actually a pretty cool place to live and visit. Small town feel with a good sized lake and connecting river. How many cities or places can you live where you can go boating after work? Not many.

I'd be a little more cautious about what you call a shithole. I'm sure there are people out there who think your town is a shithole.

Waves are too big. They even cancelled desert storm last year due to a 2 foot swell. :D

Havasu (the lake) is 100 times more scenic than Folsom (lake).

You can find a shithole anywhere you look. The city has its issues like any other town.

That just may be the appeal, that it doesn't get blown out as much as the other up river lakes along the Colorado. It is the only lake with a city at its banks, which in turns allows for a shit load of hey lam.

We have the Delta which is much bigger than Havasu and I consider that a shithole. But we also have Shasta, Oroville, Bullards Bar, Folsom, Don Pedro, and Tahoe that would put Havasu to shame....just to name a few.

If you live in SoCal you have a few options to go boating, same with NoCal. At the end of the day it does not matter as long as you are out on the lake with family and friends.

Very True!

While NorCal is pretty the weather sucks and the lakes don't have the same feel that the river has. Personally I love the desert scenery more than the green forest. The Colorado river has been a huge part of performance boating. NorCal not so much.

I was just talking with a friend at dinner last night about why I boat there. He couldn't believe I drive 4.5 hours from OC as many times a year as I do. The water is so clean and refreshing, the beaches are nice and there aren't a ton of rules that many CA lakes have. Speed limits being a huge one!

I live in very congested area of Orange County and while I love where I live, it's so nice to just get out of there and visit Mohave Valley or Lake Havasu. It's a relaxing feeling that's tough to describe. I always say, "You're either a river rat, or you're not. There's no in between."

I've been to Folsom, I've been to Havazoo, Been to Parker too.

I'll take Shasta for the win!

Seriously. Anyone that want's to see what real boating is like in Northern CA should go a little farther North than CFW or Folsom.

Shasta could be the paradise you seek. No Houseboats in the channel, No drunken fights with flatbilled idiots. Still get the social and party scene if you desire it, but one cove over and you can fish or sun bath undisturbed.

It really is not like Folsom at all.

The water temp varies throughout the lake due to current and depths.

There are certain swimming holes that are crystal clear and warm, other holes that are clear and cool from current to the dam.
It is fed by 4 separate arms, each with their own characteristics.

We favor the Pitt arm, which is the most easterly arm. It tends to be warmer and has an abundance of coves and different activities going on right from the launch at Jones Valley.

The other arms are also fantastic, though.

The main body is West of the I5 bridge, although East of the Bridge all the way to Silverthorn is big water also, with coves and just beautiful clear water in places.

It is easily the most outstanding Lake I have ever had the privilege of living near!

Shasta is Beautiful but I haven't been there since I was in High School. I remember catching trout by hand in one of the streams coming into the Lake.

While up there we also checked out the Caverns. It was kind of interesting, I asked the tour guide about a bunch of barrels in the cavern and the guide said that the Lake Shasta Caverns were a nuclear fallout shelter (this was back in the mid eighties when the cold war was still going). I might have the numbers wrong but he said that the Caverns could hold 3,000 people and feed them for seven days.

By the way, if you read the original post in this thread, I said I heard Havasu was a shithole....I didn't call it one.

You don't own a boat,never been to Havasu,I don't think even have a job and have been banned from every other boating site.You say you have never been banned from oso,I don't think you have ever posted anything.If so,they would not put up with your shit and you would be gone from there.Maybe you should start a paddling forum and have all your Facebook friends join.

Where are the good RV spots for Shasta? I've wanted to rent an RV and pull the boat up for a few days. Do any of the parks have their own ramps and do they offer launch service? Are cab/shuttle rides easy to come by? Or should I rent a car?

We love it.

That clip shows a boat underway coming from under the I5 bridge heading east through the main body towards the Squaw river arm and Pitt arm.

The view behind my boat is looking up the McCloud arm due North. Following the McCloud arm leads to some FANTASTIC scenery, and gets smaller to make a great river run!

Each summer we have met folks up there that plan there major summer Vacation camping up on that section. Last year met up with some great folks from the bay area in a 26' Daytona and a few of their friends that were tent camping up the arm. Everytime we go up there we find new adventure and scenery...I find it hard to believe at times that I am not back in Alaska when I see it.

Here is a better detailed map. When the water level is up it is close to 400 miles of shoreline.

What don't you get? You might want to do a road trip and visit the town sometime, and maybe you'll understand. What you've "heard" will probably be the complete opposite once you've spent a few relaxing days in Havi. My parents retired and moved their from SoCal 3 years ago, and love it. There's always something going on, Wen. nights at MadDogs, thurs. afternoon hot rod gatherings etc.. Spring Break has nothing to do w/it, they aren't boaters. Those are just college kids looking to drink, party, and get some sun for a few days.

Havasu is great because its only 35mins to Parker, 2.5hrs to Vegas, and a mornings drive to SoCal. As far as the Skater/MTI comment, those boats aren't that big in the water. Havasu is plenty big enough for those boats. If you want a larger body of water to run those boats in, Just take a 2hr drive up I-40 to 93, drive up to Boulder City and launch at Lake Mead, beautiful lake and there's hardly anyone on it, why? Because they're all in Havasu. Why? Because Havasu has the bridge, the channel, the turtle bar, the springs, topoc 66, pirate cove, "eye candy=hot chicks", etc etc etc.

What's cool about the Colorado River is that you have Havasu, Parker, Mead, & Mohave all within a 2hr drive of each other. All four of those are awesome places to boat and all just a mornings drive from SoCal. Havasu really is a cool little town, you should make an effort to spend a few days there someday, I think you'd love it!

Regarding being boatless, Grads has only for about 2 months while he looks for 26 / 27 Daytona. When he does have a boat, he boats more than anyone I know....he boats almost everyday.

It really is a fun town. Normally I wouldn't have commented on GRADS' post, but to hear the term "shithole" I thought was completely out-of-line and ridicilous. You're right, there's always something going on. When I'm there I always pick up a White Sheet and they're always having some kind of Hot Rod event, car races etc, it's much more than just DS. A lot of people don't realize how many nice home's there are in Havasu until they start during around town, and it's growing and getting nicer every year. I could see myself living there someday, how about you? Cool little town, super close to Parker and 2hrs to Vegas for a weekend?

People would say where I live is a shit hole. Who cares. One man's trash is another man's treasure and not caring what other people think is the key to a happy life.

There is a lot of truth to that.

Folsom itself has some money, and has it's share of ballers...but I find the lake rather "mundane".

Shasta County and Redding is considered a Hillbilly haven, but the lake is fantastic. 6 here, half dozen there?
