Where do you guys launch when you go out to Laughlin? Also where do you keep you boat when you stay with out getting everything stolen? Any help would be great.
Thanks
I launch on the river at Camp Davis just accross the bridge from Laughlin. Go accross and take a left and take another left at the first light.
On the lake I launch at Katherines. You can expect long lines if you DO NOT have a slip. You would have to probably sign up in the AM and come back around 12 to get a slip. Call Katherines and they can tell you how it works.
If you're launching on the river I would suggest Davis Camp or better yet the Chamber of Commerce launch area (less PWC's and you don't have to go through the no wake zone in front of Harrah's when you come back.)
On the lake, Telephone Cove is much quicker than Katherine's. That's if you don't mind driving down a dirt road for a 1/2 mile or so.
The best place I've found to keep my boat is in the security lot for the Belle/Edgewater hotels. It's up behind the outlet center and has a guard on the premises 24/7. No charge and a shuttle that runs to both hotels and back to the lot every seven minutes or so.
I'm not too sure about the other casino's but the nice thing about the Riverside is that, unless you're lucky enough to get a river view room, you can park in view of your hotel room. Usually any time we're in our room, we can see our boat and truck.
Riverside has great parking, easy to pull in and more room than most of the hotels wink
I agree on the Riverside. The worst is probably Harrah's. If you manage to get in, some ass will LOCK you in.
I launch out of telephone Cove!!! Katherine's is out of control!! The only thing about telephone is that it is a dirt ramp! As far as Hotel, I like staying at the Ramada they have great boat parking with security and I have never any problem!
Hope this help?
Ditto on Harrah's...stay away!
We used to launch and retrieve at Katherine Landing but it became such a zoo that it is actually easier to drive up to Cottonwood Cove and launch there. As for slips - good luck. If you were in Laughlin this weekend you might, I repeat might, have a chance to rent a slip from now thru next week and past the holiday weekend.
Thanks for the info. We are going to be on the lower river. I hate mohave, it is always choppy and launching at Katherine's or Telephone just sucks. Where is the Chamber of Commerce Launch? Is it the one in Bull Head or is there one on the Laughlin side? Has enyone used Big Bend State Park south of Laughlin to launch?
Depends on where you're going to hang out. I prefer Big Bend because I stay south of River Bend, and don't have to deal with PWCs like you do up north. Get away from the ramp, and it's great.
