Anglers and boaters take note: Site Six fishing pier on Lake Havasu will be off-limits next Thursday. Lake Havasu City has announced a partnership with the Mohave County Sheriff’s Office and Arizona Game and Fish for a significant upgrade that will necessitate a day-long closure on August 22 at 5:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., according to information from their official announcement.
In order to install new fishing dock anchors, large equipment will have to be deployed on the launch ramp, hindering access to all boat traffic in the Site Six waterway for the duration of the work. Adding to the efforts, three divers are scheduled to be at play in the water to attach the new cables and chains from the lakebed to the underside of the fishing dock, once the 2500 pound anchors have been positioned.
The historical significance of Site Six as a past military locale and present-day recreational facility underlines the importance of these updates. It served as a spot for servicemen to relax during World War II and has evolved into the city's sole free launch ramp — a detail not to be overlooked by today's residents and visitors seeking leisure activities such as swimming, fishing, boating, and hiking.
The public has been thanked for their patience during this necessary interim closure, with the promise of improved safety and enhanced recreational experience at the completion of the project. As per a statement by Lake Havasu City, "We appreciate the public's patience and cooperation for the necessary temporary closure, as we continue to make improvements in the area to enhance the safety and overall experience for everyone at Site Six."
For those seeking additional information or who have concerns about the temporary disruption, Lake Havasu City encourages direct contact with their Community Engagement Officer.
