Hey Russ!!! "BETTER THIS TRIP"!!! "GOOD PLACE " To "HANGOUT"!!! Be Safe!!!

What a cool little spot. An oasis in the desert.

Just beautiful there the mountains it is a slice of heaven I can't wait to see what heaven looks like

Willow Beach; never stopped; looks pretty nice; keep it up Russ 😎😎😎👍👍👍👌👌

I went there in 1966 for a week and all they had then was launch ramp and a little store. It has grown considerably. I enjoyed your video, it really brought back a lot of memories

Hey Russ, you are my new 'Huell Howser' when it comes to finding places to go and explore. Keep 'em coming. #Rvertv

Nice place definitely for a pontoon ride! 😀

Thanks again for another great video Russ really enjoy it and I hope you have a really good fourth coming up and a safe one take care thanks again

I worked for the Arizona highway in 1960 to 1965 mapping the hwy 93 and we had to stay at willow beach it was cold in October we saw wild sheep it was a good experience they only had a small store there and we stayed in small buildings

Thanks Russ for highlights of areas we can stay when I travel to get aquatinted with some of my eighteen surviving siblings, I didn't know I had, until age 61. Half of them live in California/SoCal. 👍🏿

Happy 4th Russ🥳🗽

That water looks so refreshing and it's very pretty looking

Really interesting. I bet it's very nice when the temps are a little cooler.

Howdy Russ! Hope you're having a great 4th of July weekend 😀 👍

Wow! Willow Lake is great! You can stay there for a while Russ! Do it!😀🇺🇸🚙❤️🚲

Hey, Hey, It's RVerTV Russ, Great to get out today with you my friend. 👍

Another great video 📹 ! You walked right by an antique coming out of the small store ! A real " pay phone " . Water is so clear ! Just too far away for me .

Great drone video Russ. I'm definitely a kayaker ,can't go as far as I used to lol but that looks like a wonderful place to kayak.

Hey Russ, I hope you're keeping cool--the temps in that area are baking hot this weekend! Fish hatcheries are really neat places to visit. If you ever make it up to the Columbia River Gorge, make a point of stopping at the Bonneville Hatchery to see Herman The Sturgeon!

Driving by this turn off many times .never stopped. Looks like an awesome spot. Thanks

Happy 4th of July! Thanks for Sharing!

Thank you sir!! I've never been to willow ⛱️🏖️. Thanks. Safe travels!!!

I have been to several fish hatcheries in Calif. and Oregon, years ago. Fun to see how the little fish are grown and even some larger ones.

When stationed at Nellis AFB back in the mid to late 80's I use to frequent Willow Beach. At that time there was no entrance fee and the view was just as spectacular with the coldest water I've ever stepped in...even in July. Ha! Years earlier they had a bad flash-flood that swept away trailers and sadly lives I heard or read.

awesome Russ as usual, love it and thank you !

Many years ago did a float trip from the dam base to willow beach. I remember the water was ice cold but a fun trip. Thanks for the drive today Russ. 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍 straight thru the stop sign and turned left on a no left turn. Lol

I love your videos of Arizona and I enjoy what I call the virtual ride along. Thanks for sharing. Be well

I was 9 years old when I caught my first rainbow trout it was so pretty I felt bad for the little fish well it wasn't little but the fish was beautiful I was fishing with my grandfather I loved fishing with my dad and my grandfather it was always a very exciting day for me when we got to go fishing on the weekend

Great video Russ, love this place and it is on my list to stay a week. Thanks for the tour!!

Nice place.

Thank you Russ for taking us along to these places , feels like I’m on Holliday right there with you even though I’m thousands of miles away in Ireland, stay safe and happy 4th to you guys

Thanks and Happy 4th. Yet another place that I've just flown by without stopping. Even when the point of the ride was just to kill time.

Great striper fishing off willow beach. You can eat the striper out of lake Mohave colder water. Can't eat the bass out of mead.

There use to be a bald eagle perched on top of the hill across the river from the marina when the hatchery released trout on Fridays.

Beautiful! I need a road trip that never ends!!! Thanks for all you do!!!

Thanks for the tour. Happy Independence Day!

Wow that's a huge fish

Yeah there's nothing like a huge fish fry delicious

Happy Trails, United States America , Russ , RVerTV Fans. Watching RVerTV / Wearing my RVerTV t shirt. Canadians need RVerTV Eh - Russ Too Cool 4 School.

Beautiful seenrey, Nice spot for camping my bro, Watching from jamaica bro a alwys watching you

Beautiful virtual tour of these lovely wilderness, nice and interesting to see the beautiful sceneries there. It looks nice and scenic! I enjoyed the tour 😊👍👍 I am a new fan from Bangalore

Hi Russ I hope it is cool there for you. I just love all the videos you post. I have been watching since 2019 when I found your channel. You were my vacation get away during the C19 lock down. Keep it up hope to meet you some time. Stay safe and have fun.

Like the hatchery. It's pretty neat how they release fish to fill water areas. That's a pretty area, with great views, good sized sites. Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇲 🙂👍

I'll be there in June. Hopefully the fishing will be great.

IF YOU WANT TO SEE PARADISE, YOU HAVE TO COME TO KOOTENAY LAKE IN BRITISH COLUMBIA. IN ALL THE PLACES I HAVE TRAVELLED TO THE ONLY THING THAT COMES CLOSE IS SCOTLAND. AND THAT INCLUDES ALL THE WESTERN U.S.

Sweet! That hatchery is paradise for a stray cat!

Very Nice!

Oh I forgot the hush puppies got to have those too 😂

Nice view

Yea l would love to have one of those on my hook🐟 happy 4th ofJuly🇺🇸 Mr. Russ great job👍

The launching, landing or operations of an unmanned aircraft from or on lands and waters administered by the national park service within the boundaries of lake mead national recreational area is prohibited except as approved in writing by the superintendent. Willow Beach is a part of the of the Lake Mead National Recreational area.

Hey Russ … Love your vids! I just pulled the trigger on a parcel of land just outside Williams, AZ near Grand Canyon Junction. If you’re ever in that area, I would love to see a vid from you showing GCJ. Keep up the great work! 👍🏼😎

The Ding Bat in the red SUV at the end didn't look, blew through the stop sign and made an illegal left turn. There is a "No Left Turn" sign coming out of that side road. You should have given her two tickets. LOL

Oh yes I love the beach I haven't been there in years

If you make it to Southern Utah check out the Mountain Meadow Massacre Site off Highway 18 north of St. George, Utah. Also, there are other sites west of Cedar City and around Cedar City as well.

Happy Fourth of July 🇺🇸

The area looked familiar but not quite right so I went to google maps and saw why. I take 93 when I'm heading south but 95 when I'm heading north. If my girlfriend can take a month off we'll head down to Quartzsite and then meander back. She's from Albany, NY so probably not seen London Bridge etcetera. It will be May 2023 so I'll have my 74th in Mesquite Nevada on the way south. Hopefully we'll get to see you in Quartzsite around May 15th.

Nice to see water considering how the rest of the Colorado is. You said Lake Mead is above this location. Why isn't this area low like up river?

I went past Willow beach 20 times or more while i lived in Vegas. Never did check it out.

Loved the video!!

You have a LOT of energy!!! J

Hi Russ, When I'm traveling in my white csmper van and see the word " beach", I think of swimming at a sandy beach. Looks like a great fishing place, marina. fish hatchery, kyaking and views, but is there a place to cool off in the Colorado River there?

David G. Johnson That's what I wanted to know, too. I saw a YT video a year ago with a man playing with his dog on a small, sandy beach.

🤔 why does Willow Beach in AZ have all the water when at Lake Mead, NV the water is at the levels it is? My neighbor told me it is because no water has been released to Lake Mead. Do you know why Lake Mead is allowed to go dry? Seems like a planned demolition to me. Great video 👍

I would rather rent a boat with a motor on it it would be nice to go through all that on a boat such a beautiful scenery

Russ is everything still overcrowded out there? The news readers say there's an over abundance of humans this year?? At 5 $ a gallon I would have guessed it kept some in the backyard.

Hey, not much shade in Willow Beach campground. When you don't have A/C, it's almost unlivable in 120 deg heat. Pronto, a mountaintop to get cool (Mount Charleston, just west of Las Vegas, fits the bill). You should try the campgrounds high up Nevada Rte 156, hoping there are places left ... Great video as always, you got talent at documentaries ! RICHARD

Just found your channel, thanks for the video!

Thanks for the sub!

I used to come here back in the early 2000's instead of Lake Mead, because it was a sleepy little marina with mostly fisherman here. Very few recreational boaters. We would launch from here and boat down to Cotton Wood Cove, which is another great marina to visit. We would spend the day there boating and camping out on the beach. I remember the restaurant had the best onion rings I have ever had. And to the heat, one of the days we came here, it was a 125, so that river felt really good to swim in once you got down near Cotton Wood. One other thing, it was free to boat here, no fees. Real Bummer to see them charging money now.

" Real Bummer to see them charging money now." They overcharge everything in the US.

It doesn’t seem like it’s very crowded for the Fourth of July weekend why do you think

Last time I was there, there was 2 to 3 foot waves.

lake mead is drying up

This never use to be a fee based entry. It was always free. About 6 years ago, the US government built an entry check building (guessing 800k to a million in cost), pay full time employees, charge fees, but not repave the road. Total bloat.

With gas slowly coming down a few pennies are you still considering making the trip to Stugis in August. Arizona will be too hot by then.

maybe. but doubtful

As soon as you said "fish hatchery", Russ, I recalled your first visit here. Certainly much livelier than during the Wuhan coronavirus shutdown.

It's 104 degrees there

The price is $75/night. I don't think so.

When are you heading north Russ? You have been in the desert long enough. It's way COOLER.

you don't bb that big fish you smoke it lol.

Russ if you ever get back into fishing KFC popcorn chicken will catch you all kinds of different fish even turtles along the river... Happy 4th and Safe Travels

Thanks Russ…… what was the temps while you were there?

👍

How do you get a Senior discount card? Thanks.

are you allowed to metal detect there?

Hey Russ. With lake Powell and mead so low it looks like the water level there is fairly good. What was your observation?

RUSS DON'T YOU EVER GET LONELY? YOU SHOULD AT LEAST GET ANOTHER DOG AT THE VERY LEAST. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'D DO IF I EVER LOST MY WIFE.

I'm sorry but I hate lady drivers 😂😂 my husband when he was alive used to always make it comment about a lady driver I used to think that was so funny
