The Colorado River divides Arizona and California, and Lake Havasu is the hottest incorporated city in the world. Although it’s known as a Spring Break destination, the area’s real party atmosphere only happens in the summer months. It’s also known as Death Valley, which has the highest recorded temperature on earth, so you know it can get hot! Visiting Lake Havasu isn’t for everyone, and the town has more to offer than just booze. Many residents live in worn-out trailer parks, and there isn’t a lot of trash or a major police presence. Most entertainment is offered in nearby Laughlin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a taste of Lake Havasu’s natural beauty, try a kayaking tour or a boat ride. You can rent a watercraft at the marina or go fishing or wakeboarding on the lake. Sandbar Watersports offers watercraft rentals and lessons, as well as RV and ATV rentals. For those who prefer to rent their own vehicles, Lake Havasu is an excellent destination for those who love to be on the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visiting Lake Havasu City is a great day trip from Los Angeles or Phoenix. The city has three hundred days of sunshine per year, making it a perfect destination for those who love water sports. The city also attracts the spring break crowd and snowbirds during the off-season. While the city isn’t as cosmopolitan as Los Angeles, it offers the kind of atmosphere that many people find appealing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a more educational experience, head to the Lake Havasu Museum of History in the city center. It has many fascinating exhibits on city history, nature, and wildlife, as well as the culture of the Native Americans in the area. The museum was founded in 2000, and has an extensive collection of artifacts that showcase the region’s Native American heritage. It also features several exhibits that look into Lake Havasu’s Native American heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For an unforgettable experience in Lake Havasu City, don’t miss a tour of the region’s 28 lighthouses. These miniature versions of historic lighthouses are located throughout the city. Many of the replica lighthouses are completely functional. You can even tour them as you explore the area. Whether you’re looking for a family vacation, a romantic getaway, or an action-packed weekend getaway, there’s something to do in Lake Havasu, Arizona. If you’re looking for a place to call home, consider staying in a vacation rental in Lake Havasu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another way to enjoy the city is to take a tour of the town’s London Bridge, which spans the Colorado River. The original bridge, located on the River Thames in London, was built in 1830. The city’s founder bought it in the 1960s and had it dismantled and rebuilt brick-by-brick on the Colorado River. This historic landmark has a haunted history and is a popular tourist destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those seeking a more challenging hike, there’s the 7.5-mile Dead Burro Canyon Trail, which climbs up a bluff and ends at the saddle above the lake. It’s a scenic route with spectacular views of the valley and offers great kayaking. In the nearby Mojave Desert, you’ll find bighorn sheep and coyotes. These animals are native to the area, so a tour here won’t disappoint you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
