The water body offers great watercraft recreation and European history. While you&#8217;re here, be sure to explore the many attractions and activities at Lake Havasu State Park. Here, you&#8217;ll find three main activities: fishing, boating, and sightseeing. Take time to stroll through the park to enjoy the natural beauty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While in town, you can check out the Lake Havasu Museum of History. This museum is jam-packed with artifacts and looks at the city&#8217;s history, as well as nature and wildlife. The museum was founded in 2000 and features a large collection, including Native American artifacts. Its collection is geared toward tourists, but you can also enjoy a movie under the stars while you&#8217;re there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the city&#8217;s highlights is the London Bridge, a nine-thousand-foot-long bridge that connects the mainland to the island in the Colorado River. The bridge, which was originally part of the River Thames in London, inspired the song &#8220;London Bridge is Falling Down.&#8221; Eventually, the London Bridge was put up for auction as the world&#8217;s most expensive antique. Lake Havasu City bought the bridge and began construction brick-by-brick over sand. In order to make this bridge accessible to all, the Bridgewater Channel was dredged underneath the lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Birdwatchers will love the Bill Williams Wildlife Refuge. The Colorado River roars through a huge bend here, making it a favorite of birdwatchers. Kayaking along the river is also a popular activity. And don&#8217;t forget to check out the Dead Mountains Wilderness Area. Bighorn sheep, coyotes, and foxes live in this area. And you won&#8217;t be disappointed if you visit this area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re in the mood for a little adventure, try flyboarding. This water sport is unique, and is only for the bravest. The Lake Havasu City balloon festival takes place in January. You can even watch a spectacular firework display during the WinterBlast fireworks festival. If you&#8217;re visiting during these events, don&#8217;t miss the opportunity to take your family up on the adventure of a lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hikers can take in the stunning views of the lake and the surrounding desert from various hiking trails. The &#8220;Slither Through the Crack&#8221; is one such adventure. This narrow, banded rhyolite lava flow offers a thrilling experience. Another fun hike is Mockingbird Wash, where you can see the infamous Seven Foot Dry Falls. The area is home to a number of famous artists, including Yayoi Kusama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cycling is a popular activity in Lake Havasu City. It&#8217;s an ideal way to explore the area and enjoy the scenic views. If you don&#8217;t have experience, a bike tour around Lake Havasu City is perfect for you. The staff at Cycle Therapy are welcoming, friendly, and ready to help. It&#8217;s important to plan ahead to get the most out of your trip. With these activities, you can make the most of your time in the region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Located near the Parker Dam on the Colorado River, the southwestern Arizona city of Lake Havasu is a popular tourist destination.
