Looks like their new “safety checkpoint” area..

 

[Dirtbag]

this will definitely extend no wake zones in the future imo.....curious what yall think

No needed. (Looks like this is going to be at the 40 freeway?)

 

[Dirtbag]

yea just south of topock....theres better pictures of the area out there.....after the no wake zone just before the first curve right going from topock to havasu

 

[sintax]

cant say i'd be stoked on this...

why is this needed w/ Pirates on one side (gas + slips + launching), and Topock on the other side (gas)

same thing I thought as well. its not like we are up there every weekend or anything but knowing it will extend the no wake zone a considerable distance makes running up to pirates and topock less attractive to me.

The H isnt a helipad.. its a holding cell

Because

The magnetic pull north of the bridge prevents quicker response for emergency situations.

Free helicopter ride in cuffs.

I didn't ready anything about extending the no-wake zone, is that just the "assumed end result" once this goes in, or is that somewhere in the plan?

Just what you need, a bunch of Dilberts getting on the water there.

 

[azsunfun]

Not for us! Second paragraph.

The feds want it for themselves.... easier to host their annual DUI checkpoint....Helipad to ship really hard to handle inmates... (cough: @Joker ... )

 

[Bobby V]

Im sure the family that owns the nice White House on the river next to this proposed ramp wont be very happy With all the new boats?

 

[FlyByWire]

It’s for the new CHP boat we’re getting. Can’t Fkn wait!!

Sweet float. Changing the motto to Safety, Service and Sun.

[HB2Havasu]

Can't see a real 'need' for this.
Unless they do some major freeway upgrades that's going to be an accident waiting to happen with cars and big rigs flying by at 75+ mph.

 

[azsunfun]

Here's the kick in the ass, bottom of page.

 

[185EZ]

I can't fly my drone in the national wildlife refuge
But they can build a marina

 

[78DiMarco]

I'm not sure this will extend the No Wake Zone near the bridge... but it could...

It will absolutely have to extend it. There aren't going to have boats going buy at 30-100 MPH as others try to launch 500 feet away.

 

[Joker]

They should extend it approximately 200 yards past Crispy Beach or until you get into the bathtub, whichever is further. That would make for some great beach area without dealing with the monster wakes coming up from Havasu. I could probably get away with one anchor at that point.

Oh god

How’s that any different than Jack Smith though? It looks like it’ll be set up like that… but with 1/100 the capacity.

 

[Shane54]

I would say there is not much area for RV camping with a launch ramp on the Arizona side of the river between Havasu and Laughlin. Pirates does have RV camping, but it's on the CA side and is pretty much booked all the time. Unless I am missing a spot on the AZ side that has RV spots with a Marina? You can launch at Topock, but I am not sure about their parking situation. I want to say it's not great, but have never launched there myself.

 

[HALLETT BOY]

My first thought is why ? It’s not like the feds / county is doing this for the betterment of boaters .

 

[LargeOrangeFont]

I dunno?

There is a turn there and it’s right next to an existing no wake zone. Seems only obvious they would extend it to encompass a new launch ramp.

You got guys above that want it extended south another 3/4 of a mile so they can beach their boats easier…

That’s a great idea

 

[LargeOrangeFont]

That’s a great idea

SRice/Gmac and the other moron feds wanted to make the entire 17 miles a no wake zone a few years ago.

Coming from upriver, it has no effect on us. It’s a retarded idea and they’ll do what they want to do.

Gee, I wonder where they will get that alternate funding from?

 

[Lumpy]

SRice/Gmac and the other moron feds wanted to make the entire 17 miles a no wake zone a few years ago.

This is most likely why. The only thing the Feds are good at is fuckery.

 

[Good Stuff]

Would be nice if they at least enforced the no tubing rule on that stretch of water. I pass idiots tubing right there and from the lake up to the sandbar most weekends.

 

[DLC]

The way it reads is -

Looks like a new Ranger Station is being announced!

 

[Wmc]

Would a marina really get used there? Where would everyone come from?

 

[RVR SWPR]

There are several fucked up GMAC cronies around here.

 

[SW_GLASS]

The only people I see using it or benefiting from it would be people from Topock/Golden Shores.

 

[78DiMarco]

Then they should extend it up to the entrance to Pirates Cove as it's a shit show and dangerous going in and out of the cove... The river seems pretty wide down at the newly proposed site so we'll see if this ever is built.

 

[Cdog]

The water depth and sandy bottom fluctuates a lot right there. Not to mention the bend and change in direction.

Seems like a dumb spot to put this?

 

[Bigbore500r]

The no wake zone starts right there already - looks like the proposed location is just south of the I40 / white pipeline bridge. I think the no-wake bouys would be right on their proposed lawn........another excellent enforcement opportunity!

Wow what a cool video! ... Not

What's the salary for a social media engineer at the department?

 

[Big B Hova]

Heard Pirates cove will charge you just to pass through the no wake zone that's being purposed.
