Anybody taking kids to Havasu this weekend?

[ULTRA28]

We're taking the boys (7 and 10) this weekend to Havasu. Never been to Havasu over the Fourth before. Does anybody take the kids and where do you hang with them?

Steamboat should be safe (unwritten rules)...
Little sandbar shouldn't be safe (unwritten rules)...

We always take our girls (4 & 7) with us. This will be our 13th Annual 4th of July Trip! We ususally stear clear of The Channel on the 4th, it's usually pretty full of river rookies.

We might take our 8 and 5 year olds, but will probably be leaving the 13 month old with the grandma. And we will be haning in the south side.

John, it should be fine out there on the 4th for the kids. Weve brought kids out before as young as 8 and they havent ever seen anything too bad (atleast nothing any 8 year old boy hasnt seen before). Seems like most of the crazy people stay home in SD or Newport to party. Its not like memorial/labor day where most of the problems are not the boat owners but the boat bitches that are getting too rowdy. Stay south of copper and you should be good. Boys might get a little bored at steamboat unless you are there early enough to get a piece of land so they arent stuck on the boat. We will be out there Fri-Tue, will look out for you!

We take our boys south of Steamboat, find a nice cove, throw the anchor out and chill.

we have 3 boys 11, 8,6yoa. We always take them and will be there. We go to Moabi most of the time, steamboat and that rock island cove just south of the pumping station on the ca. side. All very appropriate for kids. Great fishing in steamboat and the other cove. Look for the blue and white water splash HTM

We always take my girl to Havsua. Just find a nice cove or down by parker dam is always a good place to hangout.

i have a 6yo girl and 10 yo boy. Steamboat is pretty much a safe bet. There is a great cove maybe 1/2 south of the pump station on the california side. It has a little rock island in the middle. I have heard it called many different names(catfish cove, california cove, etc.). It is a great family type place, and havasu springs is just about 1-2 minutes south if you need anything(ice, icecream, cocktails, gas, lunch)....
