Thread: Water Level

  1. #1
    ULTRA26 # 1
    Planning a trip to AZ next week and I was hoping that someone might be able to let me know if there is enough water to get onto Havasu from the river. My place is in BHC and I generally put my boat in at Jack Smith, in Needles.
    Thanks in advance

    John: I called Travis last nite and he said the water has been up at nite or at least last nite it was cuase he was searching for a lost kayaker so he was by the water. He'll try to find out next week what daytime levels are and I'll PM you, but it varies quite a lot?? The lake is getting down there, 446.3 and thats prop dinging time. NSF

    Not to sound ignorant, but I don't remember the normal lake level? The last time I drove over the bridge from CA to AZ, there was plenty of water. I'm more concerned about right where the river empties into the lake. It can get shallow there.
    Thanks

    John: seems the average level for summer is about 448' and the mouth is very trouble free (well, I did manage to get stuck once ) then. I hear people always saying "just trimmer up and let her fly" but if you dont know where the little channel is by reed island then I'd rather go slow and see where I'm going than run up on the sand bar and at 446' it's close anyway you call it. But I'm old and careful so what do I know, hell I still choose the wrong path about twice a summer cause all the weeds and shore look the same to me Maybe some one can chime in on this. I'll PM you later this week with the Jack Smith level, straight from the horses mouth, opps, dont tell Travis I called him that. NSF PS The Hawk blew all day here!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Leave a post about how Jack Smith is looking when you see it. I am thinking it is still a month away until it will be comfortable. But, who knows?
