Casino row is like the 405 freeway at 5:00pm. Rental skis thick as flies. Taxi boats don't care about you, they have the right of way (so they think) There is not enough beach @ pioneer to chill without swamping the boat.

Head south past the 5 mph/harrahs area, and they mean 5 MPH. Bullhead Comm Park has a bunch of rentals there, too. 1/4 mile down is a huge wash that intersects the river, stay to the Nevada side, Its not a sand bar, its a rock bar.

Further south, there is an island on the AZ side, (River Mile 270), decent sandy beaches, some are a bit of gravel.
Laughlin Bay Marina is on the NV side about a mile down, and Big Bend a mile or so from that. Heading down river, stay center, or left of center to Big bend.

Beyond Big Bend, Keep right of 'The Bush" in the middle of the river. River sweeps left, and Boy scout camp/Pipeline are on the right.
Boy Scout Camp has a few beaches, as well as the few islands on the AZ aide. Pipeline kinda sucks, swift current and hard rock beach, and too shallow to deal with the current.

Further south, the channel is right of center, the AZ (left) side is shallow at this point. Lazy Harry's is on the left, turn by the flags (AZ Veterans Memorial Park) Watch for the shallow entrance, decent beach to park the boat, grab a burger and a beer. 

Rusty's marina is the next 'channel' further south, has a bait and beer shack. Iguana's (Mexican food) has a small dock maybe 2 skis and a boat's worth.

Beyond that, the channel is on/nearer the NV side. Rotary park, AZ side, home of BHC-PD boats...

This is usually far enough for me on a Wednesday afternoon cruise.

Watch/read the water levels http://www.usbr.gov/lc/region/g4000/hourly/DavisParkerSchedules.pdf
3 units minimum for me, been out in 2 , but 4 is better, 5 is like a lake 

Good luck and stay safe on the river

Dan'l   Wow! Couldn't ask for any more info than that!! Thanks man, much appreciated👍👍🍻

I'll be at Big Bend Park all weekend myself! Red Carrera.



I'll be within a couple hundred feet from you  we will be in the wash area between Laughlin bay and big bend   I'm not sure what days I'm going to be out  I'm still waiting on my work schedule

Careful going to lazy Harrys  I was there last week and the entire channel is really shallow  I pulled enough river grass out of my pump to fill 3 five gallon buckets

2 units can be pretty sketchy  I like to see 3 units that's usually 9000+ cubic feet per second

Man I wish  I have a carb to work on and a water leak by my gate valve to find and I need to back the timing down  all with the sun baking me in the drive way for another hour or 2

head south to around goose, dropoff or socal island, that's usually where we're all at.


edit-also Mark does the Cibola down the 78 go over the river? I want to do some shooting Friday afternoon and also take a peak around there. Are you interested?

I'm not familiar with anything south of the 10. Where are those spots at?

They are about 8 or so miles I think there's really only a few major sand bars heading south one on the cali side and one on the az side, those will be the first ones you come across heading down from Blythe. If you're planning on heading down I'll message you my phone number so you can text and what not we'll find you if you don't find us first. We'll be the drunk people shooting shit and playing really loud music


Yep I am, I wasn't planning on going until the later in the day time, but if we head out like Saturday or Sunday evening I'm down, we can talk at the park.
