Exploring Lake Havasu

Just a five-hour drive from Los Angeles, Lake Havasu City is the perfect road tripping destination for SoCal families. 

 

And with 450 miles of shoreline and 300 days of sunshine a year, it's also the ideal getaway for water, boating and fishing enthusiasts. Let's take a quick look at the best ways to enjoy this beautiful body of water. 

 

The waters of Lake Havasu are sparkling clear and warm, making it one of the country's finest boating lakes. There are no boat size restrictions or speed limits on the lake, meaning it's ideal for everything from high-performance race boats to cruising pontoon boats. Explore hidden coves or head up the Colorado River, which is flanked by dramatic canyons and cliffs and boasts abundant wildlife.

With water temperatures ranging from 75 to 85 degrees, Lake Havasu is perfect for a dip. There are three beautiful public-access beaches located on Lake Havasu, replete with acres of sandy shoreline, playgrounds and picnic areas, where you can venture into the pristine waters. You can even layout next to the world famous London Bridge, which was relocated (brick by brick) to Lake Havasu City in 1971. Or, for a more intimate experience, rent a boat and venture to one of the many secluded beaches or coves lining the lake. Click here to learn more about beach options. 

 

Lake Havasu easily ranks among the finest Arizona fishing lakes and is possibly one of the best fishing lakes in the Southwest. Anglers of all ages and abilities can expect to haul in largemouth bass, striped bass, bluegill, redear sunfish, channel catfish and flathead catfish with no need to make up fish tales. Fishing is popular on Lake Havasu all year long. Cast your line from one of several free public-access fishing docks and piers or launch your boat from one of the many launch ramps and marinas.
