Why Lake Havasu?
Lake Havasu is both a water lover's paradise and a desert lover's dream. Visitors enjoy the top-rated resorts and RV resorts and condominiums with spectacular views and convenient locations. And, with more than 300 days of sunshine per year, Lake Havasu is ideal for golf, tennis and desert tours.
More than 400 miles of stunning coastline will refresh you with exceptional watersports, including fishing, skiing, kayaking and houseboating. Or, if you prefer, explore the lake from the beautiful beaches, campsites and hiking trails. Lake Havasu City and the surrounding area are host to some of the most spectacular scenery in the southwest.
Admirers of the outdoors will appreciate this region’s stark beauty, embodied within the spectacular convergence of Lake Havasu’s desert ecology, 450 miles of breathtaking shoreline and sparkling waters. Lacking crowds and swarming tourists, this small town offers travelers a unique opportunity to explore the drama of a desert habitat – offering everything from hiking and jeep tours to bird watching and exploring hidden trails with Indian petroglyphs. Warm, dry air, rich animal life, and good fishing, hiking and camping attract travelers every summer. But even with an influx of outdoor enthusiasts every season, solitude in a pristine cove or on a lonely hiking trail is readily accessible.
Lake Havasu City was established in 1964 by Robert P. McCulloch (of McCulloch Chainsaws) as a planned community. It was incorporated in 1978. The present city grew around an old mining town established in the early 20th century.
The city is a destination of choice for university students during Spring Break. Much of the spring break activity centers on the London Bridge Resort Village, a British-themed tourist district next to the bridge. The resort built a large patio extending out to the channel with a swimming pool and a stage equipped with disco lighting to accommodate parties.Lake Havasu City is regularly host to other major events such as boating conventions and the Western Winter Blast.
Lake Havasu is also a part of the Colorado River which runs through the Grand Canyon, however, Davis Dam (creating Lake Mohave) and Hoover Dam (creating Lake Mead) both prevent boaters from reaching the Grand Canyon if attempting to reach there from Lake Havasu's downstream location.
