Lake Havasu is a beautiful city located on scenic Lake Havasu in west Arizona and is rightfully known as “Arizona’s Playground.” Lake Havasu City sits on the Arizona-California border and is about 200 miles west of Phoenix and 150 miles south of Las Vegas, Nevada. Lake Havasu City is known for being the home of the London Bridge, which was built in 1831 and bought by the founder of Lake Havasu City from the British government in 1967.

Lake Havasu City is definitely known as a city where outdoor adventures begin. Locals and vacationers enjoy exploring the outdoors with activities such as off-roading, ultralight-flying, boating, jet skiing and rock climbing. Lake Havasu City is centrally located on 60 continuous miles of lake and waterways, including the popular Lake Havasu, which is known as one of the premier lakes in the southwest for boating and watersports. Lake Havasu attracts many visitors each year because the waters of Lake Havasu are clear and warm, making it a perfect destination for fishing, swimming, and all types of water recreation. There are no size restrictions or speed limits on the lake for boaters. The lake has many accessible beaches and coves where you can park your boat and just relax and enjoy the day. If you’re looking to have a beach day, Lake Havasu State Park is a great place to go. It offers great beaches as well as fishing spots and camping areas if you want to camp out by the lake. If you want to get out on a boat, but don’t have your own, you can rent a boat from a number of different watercraft rental companies in Lake Havasu City such as Sandbar Powersports, Paradise Wild Wave Rentals, Nautical Watersports, and more.

If you are determined to get out of Lake Havasu and go to a big city for a day, you could make a day trip out of going to Phoenix or Las Vegas. Phoenix is the capital of Arizona and, as the state’s largest city, you could definitely fill a day there, but it is about a 3-hour drive each way. Las Vegas is about the same distance. A more natural option would be to take a 1.5 hour-drive to the Mojave National Preserve in Kelso, California. It is located in the Mojave Desert and run by the National Parks Service and is a beautiful park where you can experience the southwestern United States desert landscape. Another good option would be to take a 2-hour drive to Joshua Tree National Park, which is one of the best in the country and is known for its interesting, twisted Joshua trees.

There aren’t public transportation services in Lake Havasu City, so you’ll want to either drive your own vehicle or rent a vehicle if you’re flying into the city. This will help you get around easily and spend a leisurely time at the lake and explore the area.
