On the border of Arizona and California lies the desert oasis of Lake Havasu City, at the edge of the lake formed by the winding Colorado River. Its sunny beaches, hot weather, and clear waters have drawn outdoor sports enthusiasts and retirees since the city’s founding in the 1960’s.

Folks come to Havasu from all over the state and the country to spend time on the lake waterskiing, jet skiing, fishing, or just relaxing on their boats. The town’s central landmark is the London Bridge that connects the mainland and the island, and actually once spanned the River Thames.

The Hualapai Mountains provide a spectacular backdrop to the city and are a home to deer and elk that can be seen from its campsites and hiking trails. Lake Havasu City is a great place for water enthusiasts who love the desert heat. It gets up to 120 degrees here in the summer!
