Common Sense tips to help you enjoy your vacation

Use Sunscreen and bring extra clothing Don't Drink Alcohol and Drive Bring extra water! Be sure to look around before turning your watercraft When pulling a skier or tube, it is the law that you must have a third person as an observer When pulling a skier or person on a tube, do not get too close to the shore AND ALWAYS be sure to look before turning. When "hanging out" in the channel, watch for signs of Carbon Monoxide poisoning, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, or altered mental status (that isn't realated to alcohol consumption) CO poisoning can also happen to persons that have been riding in the rear of the boat. Coming into the Bridgewater Channel is a "no wake" zone, be sure to observe this, as it is heavily patrolled, especially on holiday weekends.

Article by The Log- California's Boating Newspaper California and Arizona Boating Laws May All Apply for Lake Havasu Friday, May 03, 2002 Lake Havasu is a federal waterway whose waters border Arizona and California. The regulations of each state may apply, yet neither replaces the U.S. Coast Guard or other federal regulations in force, and all are in general conformity with those laws. Prudent mariners will contact the boating agencies of both states as well as the Coast Guard for detailed boating regulations before navigating Lake Havasu's waters. An example of the differences in the laws of the two states is the law addressing bow riding. In Arizona, no one may ride on a decked-over bow of a vessel, period. In California, it is permissible to ride on the bow of a vessel if there is a railing of suitable size and design to prevent the person from falling overboard. On the Colorado River, especially on Lake Havasu, the state line does not necessarily run down the center; however, for simplicity's sake, the various law enforcement agencies treat it as though it were in the middle, according to Rebecca Wright, the law enforcement program manager in the Yuma office of the Arizona Game and Fish Department. Which laws apply is determined largely by the state of origin of the vessel and by the location of the infraction. The three counties that border Lake Havasu are Mohave and La Paz on the Arizona side, and San Bernardino on the California side. The law enforcement agencies of these counties share jurisdiction on Lake Havasu with the Arizona Game and Fish Department. The Lake Havasu City police department patrols the area under the London Bridge, and the area north of Lake Havasu is the province of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Department because it is a game refuge. 'Officers of the various agencies may cross into neighboring agencies' areas to enforce regulations by an agreement called Concurrent Jurisdiction,' said Wright. This agreement takes into account the laws that are the same for these areas.

The California Department of Boating and Waterways has a free home study boating safety course and publishes a booklet, 'The ABCs of the California Boating Law.'
