I think that is great. Everyone should go to Mead and Mohave instead.
F ...... Mohave!

Since it's within the city limits, I would believe that Lake Havasu City owns the land beneath the water. So they can prevent you from mooring.
I was mainly basing that off what I remember of a thread a few years ago. The new condos in the channel were going to make it parking for their condo owners only, and I think (but could be wrong) boatcop said they did not have the right to the that due to the Federal Waterway thingy. It could be different when it's the city that wants to make the new rules though.

Copper canyon is patrolled by San Bernardino County Sheriffs Department (California)- so it was that department that closed that area NOT Lake Havasu...
Sand Bar is patrolled by the Mohave County Sheriffs Department (Ariz) - they are the ones that closed the Sand Bar.
The Channel is NOT a federal waterway it is classified as a Lake Havasu City Streeet - thus the city is in charge of it. So actually all that needs to take place is for the city manager to say - close it. They want an ordinance to make it harder to fight.
Plus they are looking at annexing - Thompson Bay so the city would have control over that. Currently Movave count patrols the bay so they would more then likely like to have the city take over responsiblity. The BLM and Army Corp of Eng. are the Fed Agencies in charge they they do not do the patrolling.
Why? All this? Cause many in Lake Havasu don't like the "show" thats what it is called that going on in the Channel. The girls in thongs dancing on the back of the boats..the breasts being bared ..... that brings the spectators to the channel those on the shore line - they are causing many of problems - so whats the easiest way to control those on the shoreline? Take away the "SHOW".
Will it effect the local economy "they those that want it closed" say not enough to hurt the city.
Just the facts...
Thanks for the facts UL! Very interesting.
F ...... Mohave!
I'm with you Deb! Who would want to boat there anyway....the whole lake only has three ramps and no European landmarks!

Oh JOY, guess who gets to meet the Vice Mayor this Sunday for dinner
I agree that things are out of hand in the channel, and that's mostly due to all the other places being closed (Copper, SandBar) but keep in mind those are patrolled by SBCS not LHC, it's SBCS that closed those areas, and LHC is being forced to deal with the repercussions of those actions, I don't see a simple cure here, I wish the other places would re-open but it's not LHC's choice to make.
I doubt this will go very far, Harvey Jackson (LHC Mayor) is alienating people left and right (just about every one I talk to at the city) and the local paper has got it in for him big time.. so don't put to much weight in his latest volley of egotistical B.S.
SK for Mayor :wink:
The past 5 years Vegas has been trying to get away from the "family friendly" city and go back to the more adult orientated nature as it was before. Notice they have changed the shows, removed the theme parks etc. Parents with kids do not spend as much gaming as non-kids visits.
Hope it doesn't pass...
I just watched a special on Vegas and they said Gaming was no longer the #1 source of dollars in Vegas, they said something about entertainment taking over as the best way to bring in the big bucks.
Maybe Havasu will figure out that it is the tourists who bring in most of the income for the locals in Havasu. They need to learn from the example of Vegas that if you cater to the tourist you will have a successful city, closing the channel would not be catering to tourism...
Limit the parking to the island and the resorts, then SHUT DOWN the drinking will fix it....
Or LIMIT the drinking -- still need Jello shooters!!!!!!!! People just need to pick up their garbage!!!!! There are tons of trash cans -- whats the problem???????
with another bunch of BS discussions about the Channel.
Anyone else getting sick of these jerks with their heads up their asses? They just don't get it - a large part of this town survives on boaters dollars.
after some research for a friend of mine that was interested in having us do an investment in Havasu, I found it to be a no go. I still think the town will discourage boaters. I think boaters will move north to other lakes that some people don't want to talk about here! :rollside: And I think you will see your investment not appreciate as much as in other geographical locations along the river. And I think there is a chance that home prices will drop. Especially with the talk of speed limits and such by other law enforcement entities besides the local police.
New developments north cater to those with bigger boats and dollars. They have problems, but boaters aren't one of them.
Vegas doesn't make any money on gambling!?!? Keep thinking that! LOL It's a secret that they build the casinos to attract the people to come in for the show. :rollside: The city may not make any money off the casinos but the casinos run the city. The city makes money off the hotel and restraunt taxes. Ask the city if they would like to shut down the casinos?
But of course, just my .02 worth
