Watering Hole Reviews

**Eli** · 06-01-2014, 08:08 PM

I've noticed there are a lot of people on www.hotboat.com from all over the country who go boating at their local lakes. So, it got me curious.

Where do you do most of your boating?

What's your favorite part about that body of water?

What's your least favorite?

Give us the low down. If we come to your local watering hole, what should we know? Size? Fuel accessibility? Safety? Fun? Pros? Cons? Where to stay? RV friendly or hotel?

I started boating at Lake Mohave. I think it is absolutely beautiful there! Always trailered the boat in and out every day when we stayed in Laughlin.
Been to Havasu a handful of times. Most of the time in my 20's we went for Memorial Weekend.
Been to Parker twice and enjoyed it both times.
All 3 are different for me and depending on whom I am going with depends on where I go.

Next on the bucket list is the Lake Powell House boat.

We have a house in Havasu, some people think it's a shit hole. Love the fact I have 20 something mile of lake to run, and another 20 or so miles of river to run as well. After 30 plus years, I still find a new to me spot every once in while.
Been on Mohave a few times I think it's a beautiful lake and I keep thinking I'd like to spend a little more time there.
Been to Parker a few times, it's a great place, just not my favorite. I can definetly see why many people like it so much

I've got lot's of watering holes around here, ranging from 20 minutes to 1.5 hrs away. I could go boating at a different spot 7 days a week if I wanted to. It would be hard to pick a favorite, they all have pro's and con's. Deciding where to go usually depend's on what boat and what day I want to go. Best part about having choices is being able to avoid offshore toon's, v-bottom tuna boat's and roll bar boat's

Hard to say, toss between the Slough and Pine Flat. I probably won't go to Pine Flat anymore this year because it's low and only getting lower

I'll throw my $.02 out there cause I have nothing better to do right now lol

We spend most of our time in Parker. I would say our fav spot is the Blue Water Cantina. With Foxes and The Pirate a close second. All have their pros and cons, but mostly pros. The Bluewater is just way to close to us, so its convenient and easy and all the servers know us. Foxes has a pretty good breakfast, and the location is great. The Pirate is also a great location. The staff is friendly, the food is good, and they have plenty of parking.

Outside Parker, Captain Ron's at LOTO is a crazy cool place to hang out. Great good, tons of parking, good food, and super friendly staff. We cruised by at least one other bar when we were there, but didn't have enough time to stop. But the place was going off. Hopefully this year.

Havasu is always fun. Its a little harder imo to boat/bar hop, but if I had to choose a spot, it would be The Heat. That place is sick. It only has kinda somewhat questionable parking for 1 or 2 boats, so its definitely not water friendly. But the bar and location is amazing. Definitely a place to go back to again, and again.

My $.02. And I'm not a pro, I'm a rook

I guess my title was misleading...I meant where you go boating not drinking. One track mind here! Lol
