Contact Point Options Studied
Public boat launching ramp, other recreational projects being discussed
By Brian Wedemeyer
Federal, state and local officials are discussing a proposal to build a public boat ramp and other recreational facilities near Contact Point in Lake Havasu City.
The coordinated effort would involve the Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, Arizona State Parks Department, the Chemehuevi Indian Tribe and Lake Havasu City.
In addition to the boat ramp, the project also would include an access road from State Route 95, restrooms and a concession area, according to a press release issued Tuesday.
The proposed site is located on property owned by Arizona State Parks as well as public land administered by BLM.
The agencies involved are reviewing funding options to support the facility. BLM also is attempting to determine what type of authorization is required to complete the project.
A new Resource Management Plan for the BLM Lake Havasu Field Office is scheduled for completion in late 2005. The agencies are exploring the possibility of starting the project outside the planning process.
“This group will make no definite determinations while in the planning stages,” said Rick Knotts, western regional manager for State Parks, in a prepared statement. “Information will be made available to the public regularly as the group reviews the viability of this project.”
Knotts said public comment would be solicited during the initial stages if the project is deemed appropriate.
There are currently three public boat ramps in Lake Havasu City — Site Six, Lake Havasu State Park (Windsor Beach) and Lake Havasu Marina. Some are forced to close on busy summer weekends due to crowding.

They need a big one like they have at Lake Pleasant. It's something like 25 lanes wide with tons of parking. Not like site six, where last I checked had only 3 wide. On a big weekend site six had a line a couple miles long.

If you want to see a "picture" of her, first off, I would not be yelling at her (caps), and second ask for a picture, not her (MUG).
Just my .02

I'd wager it'd pay for itself within a very short time.

http://www.irnoyfb.com/hb/cpmap.jpg I like that location...only half the drive from the house to a ramp - 2 miles instead of 4!

Will there be any type of retaining wall to keep the swells down? Seems to me that is the busiest part of the lake and there is no protection from the swells. :confused:

All I would need is Jamaica to connect with 95, and I could just roll right down to the ramp. SWEET!!

We'll need to charge admission to our little private ramp, right? We'll have to let Essex502 in because he's also in the 'hood! Knoweing how fast bureaucrats (gulp wink ) work, it'll probably be about 10 years before it's done. They really need on in the south end of town, and contact point is a great location. For those of you that don't know where it is, too f'ing bad! hehehe :D
Actually, it's the LE ramp area a few hundred feet south of body beach.

Saw that in the paper this morning Tom. Not sure if I like being able to get more boats on the lake or not...........okay I guess I like the fact that the ramp near my house would be less crowded. (Windsor) All those south-enders could stay on the south side then. LOL! j/k. Can't wait. The tax revenue has doubled this past year due to the increased values so it may be sooner that we think.
