Is it just me...

Or is Havasu in desperate need of a watering hole like Fox's?!!

Why the hell is there no place near the water that has a laid back classic rock kinda joint...??

Maybe but it seems most popular to launch and beach in the channel, I am beginning to prefer a nice run to Havasu Springs, Topock or Pirates. The wife always says we can drive/walk to the channel so why leave the pool in the back yard if that is the destination.

The last 3 trips of last year, that was exactly what we did. This year, I imagine we'll hit the channel first, then off to pirates.

Our trips for the last 8 summers.
Saturday = find a nice cove on the south side and chill
Sunday = Topock then Pirates beach

 

[TEBBY]

Pirates and the new topock don't have even close to same feel as Fox's and Roadrunner...
The old Topock was close tho.

One of the main reasons I like Parker and their are now more cool spots on the Parker Strip than ever.
Food good everyplace except RR.

At Parker you have to stop at every bar. If not you have to turn around every 10 minutes.

Havasu to me has always been about the adventure you and your crew have that day. Parker is more of a early morning ski followed by hanging and bar hoping. After a few parker trips I miss covering 50-100 miles on havasu.

Naked turtle. And the bar at The Heat is kinda cool.

Neither are much of a a laid back classic rock style place

Well I enjoy the turtle. Atmosphere is great to me. And the location is great as well.

I never said they were bad, they are ok, just not that kind of hang.

I get what you're saying. I don't think there's much waterfront available for many new places anyways. It's obviously a different place. I spend equal amounts of time in both Parker and Havasu. Don't really like one over the other. I like them both.

Gonna have to disagree.. I'll take RR food over foxes any day of the week.

 

[USMC2010]

We have only boated on Parker once several years ago and it was a miserable experience. Maybe it is time for another look.

 

[minijeep]

Parker is closed!

 

[RiverDave]

There are a few on land.. But you are right, on the water nothing like Parker.

 

[ONE-A-DAY]

Drink all day in a secluded cove on the south end of the lake, cruise home as the sun sets, tie up at barley brothers for dinner, slow cruise back to Windsor around 10 at night, stop on the way to the ramp and knock it out in the middle of the lake, hit Windsor around 10:03 and get the boat out, nobody around, go home, sleep, repeat.

 

[TEBBY]

It would be so cool if there was something like Fox's on the lake

 

[BHC Vic]

I've never been to Parker but really excited to check it out

 

[OldSchoolBoats]

I like launching early and heading south. Find a nice cove and beach to relax on and then head to Springs for lunch and libations, then back North to the Channel or speed alley to hang for the afternoon.

 

[2Driver]

The river is an escape from the norm. I can go to any big city for a theme place de jour

IMO Worn in places with charachter like old Topock, RR, Foxes are the river.

 

[Angler]

Love both Havasu and Parker during the week. Weekends I just hit the sand Bars and hang out. Headed to Parker in the morning for a week. Should be pretty empty an Emerald Cove!! :thumbsup

 

[Ziggy]

I don't really have a reason to drink booze all day when boating....nor do I enjoy all that much classic rock. [emoji14] [emoji1]

Not if you have a slow pontoon, then its every hour. Plus bar stops, which makes it every 3 hours, lol. 😄
