View Full Version : MO Not impressed with Havi

After spending a week in Havi March 26-31 I was not impressed with the lake. Maybe we hit a bad week for people. There was no one there and if there was people there it was all guys. What happen to MTV and girls gone wild? I am use to LOTO and there is no comaparison. If anyone wants a road trip they need to hit LOTO. The most we ever saw at Copper Canyon was 10 boats tied up. I have seen the pictures of that place packed. I guess that is the summer?? There is just a lot more bars/restaurants at LOTO and bigger faster boats. I hope that I can return sometime when it is busy.

Yeh,
Havasu sucks.

you picked a bad week maybe and midiweek havi is the best when its a few boats...besides who wants to see a bunch of half naked women abusing various drinks, flinging beads, and jumping in and out of your boat and offering great pictures for your camera and someone bragging rights about they could have hit that :p

Hey, your right havasu sucks. Make sure you tell 10 friends and they tell ten friends, and so on and so on. It will help keep the lake lake less populated.

There is just not anything on the water for bars/restaurants. The Turtle was nice but no one there. Kocamo's was full of guys dancing on poles. The Nautical Inn was a dump if you ask me. Who ever bought that had better think twice. Maybe it is better later in the year but compared to LOTO there is no comparision.

LOTO is starting to get going. The weekends are crowded right now. We just thought that Havi had a big spring break party out there. All I saw was dudes everywhere. Everyone that we talked to was let down with the party scene and would not be returning. At LOTO it is more like 50 ft boats and 6 ft chop. Your little boats out there would be swamped.

I am sure that it is better as summer comes and especially on a weekend. I am not trying to run the lake down we were just let down after coming that far. If anyone out there ever gets a chance to come to LOTO even without a boat I guarantee a great time!

There is just not anything on the water for bars/restaurants.
Having boated in many places across the country, this unfortunately is true. So Cal. and the surrounding areas do not cater to weekend boaters. Sure, there are a few places to tie-up in LB, Naples and MDR, Havi etc. but no overnighting or shore power etc.
We do have year round boating and the weather can't be beat. Each place has it's pluses and minuses, take them as they are and enjoy

I have seen pictures taken from a plane posted here where Havi is freakin nuts! I think is was at the sandbar it said. I would say its a little too early for all the crazies to show yet. At the same time, all the hillbillys down here have to deal with snow and cold weather for a long time. As soon as spring hits people get really, really get stupid!

When you went, most people are two months away from starting the season.
Exactly, our house (as well as many others) was still rented to snowbirds when you guys went. A lot of the people that do Havasu in the summer also do the local deserts in the winter, and it is still desert season.

How is LOTO this time of year
Probably still ice on the lake... :)
I have had this debate on OSO and when the season gets in full swing in a month or so in Havasu it is a different scene. The weather at Loto (rain, humidity, bugs etc...) during the season can't compare to Havasu. I had a friend that towed boats for a living and used to tow to LOTO and said the weather their in the summer sucks (not to mention there is no boating in the winter). I will also take the clean flowing Colorado river (85 degree's during the season) over the brown nasty water at LOTO any day. There is a reason you can buy lake front homes on LOTO for dirt cheap. :rolleyes: :cool:

Up 4 River
04-06-2006, 08:09 AM
I looked at you pics from LOTO and no offense but the last thing I would ever want to do is hang out with a bunch of houseboats and pontoon boats in a cove I could not get out of. The majority of the people on these boards enjoy a good party now and then but we've been there done that in Havasu. Those times are fun but they are few and far between. Why would we want to take our boat somewhere for a week and park it in a cove. I personally would rather ski, hang out with friends and run the boat. When we are able to boat year round we probably get less woundup come March to get in the boat because we were out in one in December and February already. My bet is you would really enjoy Havasu and the river if you were with a group of people you knew and had realistic expectations of you trip based on the time of year you were there. Just my 2 cents.

I tried to do you a favor in an earlier thread....
"No slight meant to Havasu ( I'm from there) but compared to LOTO I think you'll find Havasu JV. A good time either way but a hellava tow."
Could you play up LOTO so as to draw from Havasu this summer? We could use the space come June. :D

How do you equate the quality of a lake with the amount of people there?
You're right, I think you should stay at LOTO.

DCBDaytona
04-06-2006, 08:19 AM
IMHO...Over the last 10 years Havasu has gone down hill. Even 5 years ago it was much more enjoyable, with less people and boats. The damn Cali housing boom has ruined it all! Now a majority of the people there act like bad a$$es who can't drive and moreover imply that their "big ballers."

I warned you on midwestboatparty.com and here that you were going on an off weekend, before the season.
And I saw pics of LOTO this weekend... you didn't miss the party by coming here, that's for sure.
But, different strokes for different folks. Just consider this... you were one of many boats full of guys showing up hoping to pull trim. You were not one of the many boats I hang out with who show up with a bunch of women looking for a party.
You were part of the problem you see... You didn't bring any women, and expected to have a good time. We pretty much spend our whole weekend trying to get away from boats full of guys. Seriously. Sausage parties are never cool, at any lake.
Bring some women next time and see how it works out for you. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY is going to let a swordfight park next to them.
Just a thought...

LOTO is starting to get going.
Like the ice is melting at LOTO?
At this time of year Havi prolly has the most boats on the lake/river in the whole wide world(lol), and the warmest lake weather (US anyway) Unfortunately, sex out in the open, nakedness and general lewd conduct was hard to find. I feel for the 2000 mile trip that you planned and the time it took to plan ,drive, etc.
Thanks for comin out, hopefully you can enjoy the pics posted from here throughout the year.
If you want to do it again, hook up with someone from the boards and let them know what u want to see and do, it may work out better for you.

Robertbob, have to somewhat agree with you, but its not apples to apples. Havasu has a very long season, relatively smooth water and when the weather is good, a super turn out. Freak weather this year, no wonder you were disappointed. However, LOTO may have the bars, restaurants, resorts and homes on the water, but they have too many BIG cruisers plowing up the water and your sea wall is a killer. We stayed at the TanTara, had a slip and all, but the boating sucked! Next time out west give Lake Mead a try...
