Anyone know how the water level is this time of year at Laughlin? I'm looking to take the boat out at the end of this month. Wasn't there a website that actually shows the water levels of the Colorado river?

The level was really high last weekend. These numbers look really good also.

From the Needles bridge south you are good to go with a prop or jet, but north of the bridge you need to watch out even witha jet. The water levels are usually pretty low just past the bridge and then up by Avi and then again as you make the last bend to the Laughlin stretch. A jet you should be fine no matter what, but prop I would not chance it right now. Just my .02. I have ran that part many times with a prop and have been fine, but you need to know that stretch like the back of your hand to do so. I have only done it mid summer though.

yeah i've got 20' Cole jet so I think i'll be fine. I haven't been up there for 10 years or so...so I'm not real familiar with the river like I used to be. I've been going down to 6th st. in Blythe lately and there are a sh_tload of sandbars down there.
Time to hit a stretch of the river where you aren't darting back and forth to avoid the sandbars! :2purples:

My Bro's is down river, next to hidden beaches. If you boat by it, you will see the front of the property, dug down to the water. The new house is going to be about 5,300 sq. ft. He was nice enough, to sell me his Parker House.
