Lake Havasu City

Located in northwest Arizona, Lake Havasu City offers the dual splendor of desert and water. The combination of breathtaking landscapes and recreational activities make it a favorite vacation location.

Lake Havasu is best known for its water spots. The deep waters accompanied by lots of coves provide ideal conditions for fishing. Other water activities include swimming, water skiing, canoeing, kayaking and jet skiing. Enjoy a casual tour of the lake on a local paddlewheel boat.

For the adrenaline lover, you'll have fun speed boating across the crystal waters. You're heart will skip a beat as you rock climb up the jagged mountain. For added fun, take a hot air balloon ride over the lake.

Looking an off-road adventure? The whole family will have on their jeep tour traveling along the desert and mountains. On this adventure you can expect to see plenty of cacti, waterfalls, and even archeological remains from the Mohave Indians. After your jeep adventure, check out any of Havasu's four wildlife refuge areas where you may observe bighorn sheep, coyote, and over 300 bird species.

Perhaps the most well known attraction at Lake Havasu City is the famous reconstructed London Bridge. Surrounding the bridge is an authentic English Village offering an assortment of restaurants and shops. Also included in this area is an 18-hole golf course.

Shoppers are sure to have fun at Lake Havasu City's popular Agave Retail Plaza. Here you will enjoy unique shops, restaurants, outdoor concerts, and even a walk along the scenic Bridgewater Channel.

With so much to see and do, you will never be bored at Lake Havasu!
