ANNUAL BLACK MEADOW BOAT CRUISE
FROM BLACK MEADOW LANDING TO NEEDLES, CALIF.
This popular boat cruise is held the first part of May each year. A queen is elected to reign
over the cruise the evening before departure. The cruise leaves Black Meadow Landing eight
miles above Parker Dam on Lake Havasu in groups of about twenty-five boats. Each group is
under the direction of a competent guide who knows the lake and river channels. The first group
leaves at 7:30 A. M. Saturday morning and a group follows each half-hour thereafter until all
boats are accommodated. The cruise travels up Lake Havasu and the Colorado River through
the beautiful Devil's Elbow area to the Marina at Needles, Calif. Gas stops are made at Havasu
Landing and at Topock, Ariz. at Shorty's Landing. Boaters making the trip are met at Needles
by courtesy cars provided by the motel owners of Needles. Golf, swimming, and skiing are en-
joyed during the afternoon. The people of Needles furnish entertainment and dancing Saturday
evening. Boaters spend Saturday night in motels in Needles or camped out on the beaches at
the Marina. The return boat trip to Black Meadow Landing is made Sunday morning at the
boaters' individual discretion. For information on the cruise, write Black Meadow Landing,
Parker Dam, Calif. 92267 or phone 663-3250 or 663-3450.
