only downside is I haven't found a nice place to beach yet. Dont say McIntyre park either, that place is a pit. Tons of red ants-not kid friendly at all.
If you want to hang with some locals, you can beach it on the sand bar at Gilligan's Island; have to get there early 'cause it fills up; my guess is there are better places but haven't had my boat running long enough since I got to get to Blythe; that will come in time.
I think Acquaholic has a place at McIntyre.

18 ft is the boat of choice out there.  You'll be fine if you just watch the water carefully, go where everyone else goes, and never go where you see duck walking on the water (inside joke sorry).  Water goes up and down A LOT during the day, keep it in mind when beaching.  Have fun!

Mayflower park is nice, well shaded and clean bathrooms with showers.  There were only about 5 or 6 people tent camping like us, but several big RV's with no boats.  Two wide ramp in good shape but needed more water at 4pm to easily load a 23 ft boat.  No beach tho.  Very quiet now but it gets insane with jetski traffic closer to summer.  You can't go upriver very far before you run into the dam and I always like to stay upriver from where my truck is LOL. 
The weather was perfect 80's and tiny bit of breeze, with night down in the low 50's.  I hope to go back very soon.

Does anybody remember going to Palo Verde area south of Blythe.  Went there a few times with a friend of a friend who had a blown alcohol picklefork that never ran very well. Waste of a good Hemi year after year.  Wondered if it had changed much cuz it seemed real backwater then.

I have been going to Blythe since 92. I live in Palm Desert area and i can tow a boat from driveway to ramp in 1 1/2 hours. Takes about an hour to drive to ironwood (dont ask). Not too sure i would live in Blythe unless i had a killer pad on the river, short of thatI would commute from the Palm Springs area. I have a feew friends that do and it isnt too bad.
As for the river at blythe, I agree with the other posts..... SHHHHHH. It is a bit shallow, but how much water do you REALLY need? i stay at Mayflower and day camp up river by the dam. Much better than Hav2sue and other parts of the CR that i have been on.

I would say make a trip and check it out.
