Lake Havasu

Lake Havasu is one of the most popular areas in the state and is where the famous London Bridge is located (surprise, it's not in London). Thankfully, there is a sizable body of water close by to cool off; Lake Havasu is 46 square miles in size and has moderate water all year round.

There is a lot of beautiful shoreline where people may have picnics, camp, go swimming, and sunbathe. Both RV camping next to the water and beachside camping are options. Nearby desert paths turn Lake Havasu into a playground all year long.

Visit the Lake Havasu Museum of History to learn about the building of the Parker Dam, which formed the lake, or go to the two wildlife refuges to observe the local species. Take pleasure in the Mohave Sunset Trail as it meanders among the bushes and trees close to the water.

Arizona's Playground is how many refer to Lake Havasu, and it's easy to see why. The stifling heat is somewhat acceptable thanks to this reservoir.
