lake havasu city, az

The region known for its gorgeous blue lake, Lake Havasu City is about far more than just the water. Mountains ring the city and several hiking trails wind through the desert, making this “Arizona’s Playground.” Just about every form of outdoor recreation exists here. Anything water-related, from sailing, to fishing to swimming. Hike the mountains, backpack through the desert, descend into the canyons. You are sure to encounter a wide array of Arizona wildlife while en route. Golfing is also a hugely popular draw here, as mild temperatures in the winter allow for play all year round. As far as the city itself, visitors can expect a wildly diverse array of menu options, shops galore and a very trendy, energetic city vibe.

Things to See in Lake Havasu City

  • London Bridge

    Yes, the London Bridge can be found right here in Lake Havasu City. An older version of the famed bridge was essentially auctioned off to the highest bidder by the city of London. Lake Havasu City founder Robert Mculloch won. The bridge was thus taken down and completely rebuilt in its original form in the Arizona city. People from all over the world still come to take a stroll across.
  • Lighthouses

    Besides its iconic bridge, this is also a region known for its landlocked lighthouses. It actually boasts more than any other US city. They are scaled down versions of those intended for use at sea, but nevertheless, they were originally built to ensure lake safety.
  • The Lake

    Of course, the city’s star attraction is the lake. With plenty of beautiful beaches to visit and clear, swimmable water, tourists are always in for a treat when they come here. The lake is actually a large reservoir that sits next to the Colorado River behind the Parker Dam. At just under 20,000 acres, there is plenty of open water to enjoy.
  • Dining and Night LIfe

    At night, you can find just about anything and everything you could want within the city. From night clubs, to restaurants, to art galleries, to live theater, Lake Havasu City is in some ways a town that rarely sleeps.

When to Visit Lake Havasu City

  • Winter

    Winters are mild and temps are in the 60s. The lake activities die down. It is an off-season.
  • Spring

    Spring is hot and dry. April can be a fantastic time to visit as temps are in the mid-80s, but you narrowly miss the spring break crowd (unless that is your thing).
  • Summer

    Summer is crazy hot. Temps climb towards 110 degrees. At least there is a lake to jump.
  • Fall

    Falls are great. October remains in the upper 80s, but the lake is relatively uncrowded.

What an amazing tour. We saw whales, dolphins and porpoises. The crew was very friendly and enthusiastic. We could really tell they are very respectful towards the animals, we were able to see two humpbacks for nearly half an hour, everybody was silent, the engine was off and the crew was also in awe. Only when the whales left, the engine was back on and we also started moving again. We really felt like we had all the time in the world and we didn't disturb the animals.

We had an amazing time flying over the beautiful canyons, admiring the waterfalls from above. While we are both quite adventurous, I have an occasional fear of heights. The staff was incredibly friendly and professional, putting our minds perfectly at ease and making the best experience for us possible.

This was one of the BEST experiences I have ever had! We extended our trip into a two-tank dive and got to explore the surrounding areas of the garden eel bay before going into our manta show.

This was one of our favorite experiences on the trip. Kensington Market is an incredible neighborhood with a vibrant culture. We had a LOT of food on this tour. If you're thinking this will be sample size HAHA you're wrong.

A wedding guest bought this voucher for me and my husband from our wedding registry via The Knot. We had Chiqui and Jonathan as our guides and they were great! Very personable and knowledgeable. They provided a cooler with water, soda and beer.

The catamaran was smooth and clean. The food was wonderful. The captain and staff were friendly and engaging. We could have have asked for a more fun and educational experience around the island. The snorkeling was wonderful with tons of fish, corral and eels.

My husband and I went on the catamaran cruise during our honeymoon in Milos... exceptional experience! I can not recommend it enough! Beautiful views, crystal clear water, delicious food and awesome crew! A trip to Milos would not be complete without this cruise! 10/10!

Francesca, our guide, was super personable and knowledgeable about the city and legends of Venice. The tour started near the train station and followed through all the alleys and streets to San Marco Square. The weather and the sunset were absolutely beautiful as well.
