The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Lake Havasu Field Office announced the temporary closure of the western boat launch at the Take Off Point recreation area this week following structural damage. Located on the south end of Lake Havasu, this site is popular among local and visiting boaters.

Officials cited safety concerns as the primary reason for the closure, emphasizing the need for repairs to ensure user safety. Replacement and refurbishment plans are currently being discussed to expedite the reopening.

This closure is expected to impact recreational activities in the area, including boating and fishing. Local visitors and those planning to visit are advised to seek alternative boat launch sites during this period.

No specific timeline for the reopening has been provided, though updates will be shared as repairs progress. Residents are encouraged to stay informed through official BLM channels for further announcements.
