I know of three :
North Bound AZ side 3/4 mile past Road Runners before the bend.
CA side where the old USCG ramp is.
The Island which is marker at the sharp bend past Bucksin.

As kids we used to play on this "sandbar" and it used to be just that...sand.
Now...Yikes absolute biggest PITA on the entire river. Especially on a busy weekend.
I have several...
1. Basically the AZ side of Glass Alley (opposite the up river end of River Lodge) this area is like 2 1/2' deep unless the water is way up. On Thursdays itÂ’s exposed most of the day. Newbees passing a boat on the right thinking why is this guy in front of me in the middle hogging up the whole river....bang...clunk...clunk. We like that little beach there and watch it happen over and over again.
2. Same stretch of the river up a little further on the CA side just even with the large rocks on the AZ side (where the river narrows a bit before it widens up to make the final stretch to the dam). That is a snagger also.
3. AZ Side about 1/4 mile below Castle Rock (where the chair crossing used to be 30+ years ago).
4. LaPaz Park Harbor I have hit in there before also.
