Our View: Leave Lake Havasu to the visitors over the holiday weekend


Recommended Posts

Hahaha.  Hey locals, stay home this weekend.  Let the visitors foot the bill this weekend.

If there was ever a weekend for locals to avoid going out on Lake Havasu, this weekend is it. We say that every year, of course, but this year, with the increasing crowds and the continued warnings about the need for social distancing, it truly is good advice.

Mother Nature is poised to offer the signature Lake Havasu experience — sunny, in the high 90s and low 100s. Perfect boating weather. That alone is usually enough to bring on the crowds.

Memorial Day serves as Lake Havasu’s unofficial kickoff to summer, and this year, with so many people itching to get out after two months of being cooped up at home, it’s reasonable to assume the visitor numbers are going to be very high.

We appreciate that Lake Havasu is held in such high regard by visitors, even if we’re a little on edge about so many people descending on our small city in the midst of a pandemic.

Memorial Day has always been a weekend for the visitors. Locals know it’s usually better to stay home.

Dense holiday crowds usually mean a mix of skilled and unskilled boaters, some of them inebriated, which is a recipe for danger. When the number of people on the lake rises in such dramatic fashion, injuries and deaths are not uncommon.We got a taste of that last weekend, with three separate boat accidents occurring over two days in the same spot on the Parker Strip.

We expect local law enforcement will be on the prowl for boaters who’ve had too much to drink or are operating their vessels recklessly.

If you absolutely must be on the lake this weekend, please be careful. It’s always fun to people-watch during a stroll down the Bridgewater Channel or at one of our lakeside parks. (It may be interesting to note that this year, face masks may cover up more skin than a swimsuit ever would.)

Use your best judgment and avoid the crowded areas as best as you can — it will help you avoid accidents, as well as contracting or spreading coronavirus.

But we suggest letting the visitors have the lake this weekend — the rest of us have all summer long to enjoy it.

How many acres is that lake ...& how deep?

Not that many. About 20,000 acres Its 40 miles from end to end. The widest part is about 5 miles across but much of the northern half of the lake is only 1/2 to 1 mile wide. The lake definitely gets small when 20,000 extra tourists show up to play. 
 

Hale Havasu City is right in the middle of the lake on the Arizona side.

If you ever go down to Scottsdale, AZ one thing you will notice is all of the women have fake tits. Big gigantic diamonds on their fingers and nice big tits.

How deep? Does the water get too warm ?

35' deep average. 90' in the deepest part. Yes it gets really warm.  Lake water temp was 80f when we left on May 1st.  Gets way warmer than that in July.

The river is icy cold down by Parker, even in summer. But I think that’s on the other side of the dam from where you’re at.

Hmmm. I didnt think it was that cold. We went to parker last year at the end of May. The water temp was pretty nice. Not that cold.

Nope.   Didn't say there was anything wrong with a bit of sag.   Those have some sag.

It's not too cold really.  Typically 7-10 degrees colder than Lake Havasu.  We were there in April and the water temp was almost 70f already.  In June and July the river temp gets up to almost 80f in Parker.

Full drysuits. And yes my ass fell in.

We raft glacial rivers.  Many of them never reach 40f all summer long.  Drysuit with booties and gloves is mandatory.

No but there are some really nice bass as well as about a dozen other good eating fish.  Although this 36lb Bass isn't in the lake any more.
