Colorado River Navigational Charts

[wettrthebettr]

Does any body have navigational water depth charts from Lake Havasu to Pirates Cove, and south to three dunes to Parker?
This would be for May 15,16,17, I'm not sure but, it may only be a concern if the river flow gets reduced, I do plan to follow the Round-up party to pirates Cove , But in the afternoon early evening I plan to return to Thompson bay . I heard be aware of the sand bar in the pm hours.
A Copy of the charts would be helpful, I have never been on these routes before.

Trickiest part is the river mouth. Preferred paths vary depending on water flows/levels. Best to follow an experienced driver.
You can do a thread search and find some aerial pics with routes that most of us use.
The river between the mouth and Pirates is pretty easy with common sense and watchfulness.
The Lake between mouth and 3 dunes and on to the dam is deep.
You'll need to trailer the boat to get below dam and Parker.

Have fun.

I have a fairly new software edition on my simrad go9 and there were no depth contour lines shown. I was surprised by this because most other lakes I've boated have shown bouys, channel markers, depth contours, etc.

How did I not know about this?
Just downloaded and created account.
This is much better than my maps app for a rookie Havasu boater.

SafeWatersAPP was created for this very route. It started at the beggining of this year. The first part of 2020, I am going to push hard to have many more water ways marked on the APP. I too want to boat from Havi to Pirates this Spring. With the help of many local boaters, we will get this area marked out!

Fish N Map company sells excellent maps that have underwater contour lines in 10' increments. It does show some sandbars, but since they keep moving....

I just wait till the airplane guy posts an Ariel pic of the river mouth ...

Someone on here posted this a while back...pretty amusing I thought.

There is a sand bar between the sand bar south of the gorge and the mouth of the river that is no more deep than about 18'' when the water is low. It extends from the CA side to about half way across the river. Hug the AZ side reeds pretty much all the way down to the mouth of the river. I checked the SafeWaters app after I hit it... it has not been marked. A local tagging these locations would be extremely helpful.

Post 10 only shows the mouth of the river to the lake. The shallow section mentioned is separate.

Its up river from the lake and mouth of the river. But its down river from the sandbar mentioned.
