Waterwheel or Aha Quin?

Also, the park is pretty big, that map pic is maybe a quarter of what's there. I'll see if I can find a larger map.......

On a holiday weekend, sure, it can be. I have no clue about Mac, never been. There is park security that roll around all night and will quiet people down.

Go on an off weekend and you probably won't have anything to worry about.

Sounds fine. I would actually be out there more during the week and not on holiday weekends. Don't mind partying...but I also like my sleep.😝

Lost lake is a cool place to camp.you camp by the ramp you can call ahead and pay for the date and the spot you want.it's full hook ups for 30 bucks a night most spots you can get your rv and truck and boat in there at least I could with a 24 foot class c. They have bathrooms and showers next to the camp. all the people I have met have been really cool and it has never been loud or crazy. The lagoon is cool to put up the easy up and chill in the water and watch your kids play. The store is cool and well stocked with parts and and fluids the girls are nice and helpful you can call them and they will tell you about any think you want to know. The storage is 40 bucks a month and I think for 10 bucks they will pull your rv out and set it up for you the day your coming that way you get there and the air is on and ready to go.
That part of the river is all ways calm when I go.there is no other camps north in tell you get to big river I think and it's a few mile down river to water wheel I think. To me lost lake is laid back and water wheel seems snobby where at aha you have to be in with the cool kids. I'm sure I'm dead wrong and the people at aha and ww are just as cool I have just never got that feeling there. Hope this helps any.

Lost Lake is a lot quieter than it used to be when we got our spot in there. I have no complaints over the years(9). Everyone gets along. No Snobs I know of. Compared to Big River, Lost Lake's water condition is like glass, even on the weekends.

Other than a few friends that have places at WW & AQ, neither of those places have anything that would pull me to them.

I was looking at Big River also and Rio del Sol. First I heard about the water conditions. Can you elaborate?

Also, how is the water depth around Lost Lake for wake boarding? I realize there are sand bars, but do you have to wait for the water to come up?
Thanks.

What are you wakeboarding behind?

I have gotten up early enough to see the water flowing out of the lagoon. I have also been up early enough to hear some of the hot boats do some testing. I usually launch between 11 and noon and get off the water at sunset. Water flows change throughout the season so its hard to give a specific answer.

I sold my 99 Air Nautique that was a direct drive, but would mind getting a v-drive Nautique 210(21 foot) or something like that, in addition to my jet boat of course.

It would be your basic roll bar boat.
Got it on the seasonal water flows. Thanks.

I've been running my v-drive flat bottom down there w/ out problems, you'll have to learn where the deep channel is. The jet should let ya learn lol

« **Reply #42 on:** March 16, 2015, 09:38:50 AM »

Water levels vary but there is normally enough to launch and ride around by noon. Wakeboarding is mostly done upriver by the Bridge or downriver below the lower sandbar. Both areas a couple miles away from the Park.

What part of Lost Lake is LOST don't we understand

« **Reply #44 on:** March 16, 2015, 11:10:52 AM »

I THINK the Lagoon used to wrap all the way around to the Upper Sandbar and was useable by a jet boat. I haven't seen that in my 9 years, but I've been told that by other guys. Nice boat. CS 19 says it's a real peach. I don't rmember seeing it at LL but maybe this summer. My first ride in a small boat was in a Hondo Flatbottom with a SBC at Lake Isabella vs. a Cole Flat with a BBC. We got beat by a bunch, but a month later I had a Jet Boat. That was long, long ago

.

Maybe see you over the summer. Space P-1 on the Point next to the deep water launch.

I think something was LOST in translation. Maybe its not such a great spot and I'm full of shit?!?!?!

I just like the AV Gas at the pump.........

We've been at LL for 24 years now, don't ever remember being able to go to the sandbar through the old river channel, been playing on this part of the River since the 70's, yeah I know, the Hondo is always there just don't get it wet as much as I use to. Thank You and Chris for the compliment. We are in sp# 611 come by for a cold one.
