Park Moabi or Jack Smith Park launch??

[2Driver]

Not wanting to "Prop it" from the AVI Casino to Topock gorge what are preferences on either of the 2 parks above.
We plan to drive down from the AVI, launch in the morning and leave the rig there all day then tow back to the AVI in the evening. I'd be interested in opinions.
Thanks

We were out there 2 weeks ago and had to launch at Moabi~Jack Smith was still too low. It's your safest bet. That's a pretty long tow, but better safe than sorry....Have a good time!!

Is Needles Marina also low?

It was worse than Jack Smith....Not sure what it looks like now. We're heading out the weekend of the 18th, so we'll check again then...

What about Topock?

What about Topock?
We have not launched there in a long time....since the fire when all the docks burned and were rebuilt. I remember it was a pretty steep launch and not much parking, but it's not busy out there yet. When we went by 2 weeks ago, it was looking pretty shallow through there.....we didn't pull in for a burger.... :cry:
Besides, the water sometimes looks Mississippi brown, especially at the river entrance, so this time of year it's hard to tell how shallow it really is....This is Labor day last summer...

When you headed out? We are launching Jack Smith next weekend.
Avi was pretty deep when we were there Presidents. You just gotta know the river. Never propped it there before.

We are trying to plan a long weekend and hook up with some old friends from San Diego that have never been there. No set dates but looking at April. I sure miss my Jet but my back doesn't.

I hear ya. Our jet could fly through that shallow area from Avi to Needles no prob. Even on a low river day. But Topock with the jet was a back breaking experience! LOL! Glad to have the modified V now! :rollside: You should be fine in April. Jack Smith is so much nicer than Moabi. Its closer to drive to also.
