A local guide from your rental team
From the world-famous London Bridge to hidden desert canyons, here are the places our team loves to share with visitors. Grab a rental and go explore.
Lake life
With more than 400 miles of shoreline, Lake Havasu is Arizona’s playground for boating, swimming, paddling and fishing.
The main event
Waterskiing, wakeboarding, jet skiing, kayaking, paddleboarding—the calm, warm water of the lake is the reason most people come. Rent a boat or bring your own and find a cove to call your own for the day.
Plan your lake day ↗Beach, lighthouses & camping
Windsor Beach, scenic waterfront trails, RV sites and cabins right on the water. The park is also home to several of the lake’s famous replica lighthouses—scaled-down copies of real U.S. coastal lights.
Visit the park ↗Free & family friendly
Rotary Community Park and London Bridge Beach offer sandy swimming areas, picnic spots and volleyball—right in town. Watch the boats drift under the bridge while you cool off.
City parks & beaches ↗No boat? No problem
Several local outfitters run scenic cruises, sunset tours and trips down the Colorado River. It’s the easiest way to see Topock Gorge and the lighthouses from the water.
Find a tour ↗Bass capital of the west
Renowned for smallmouth and largemouth bass, the lake also holds catfish, sunfish and more. Tournaments run throughout the year—locals will happily point you to the best spots.
Fishing info ↗Free, every clear night
The city was designed with no streetlights in its neighborhoods, and with nearly 290 clear nights a year the night sky is spectacular. Bring a blanket to the beach after sunset.
Dark sky tips ↗Desert adventures
History, hiking, golf and quirky desert culture—there’s plenty to do even with your feet on dry ground.
The icon
The actual 1830s London Bridge was dismantled stone by stone and rebuilt here in the 1970s. Walk across it, browse the English Village shops below, and grab a bite along the Bridgewater Channel.
Explore the bridge ↗Local stories
Learn how a remote stretch of desert became home to the world’s most famous bridge. Exhibits cover the area’s Indigenous history, early steamboats, and the city’s wild founding.
Visit the museum ↗Hiking & off-roading
A local favorite with slot-canyon hikes (Crack in the Wall is the classic), mountain-bike trails, a huge dog park, motocross and rodeo grounds. Bring plenty of water in warm months.
Trail details ↗Tee off in the desert
Play a round at The Refuge Golf & Country Club or the lakeside Bridgewater Links nine-holer. Fair-weather mornings from fall through spring are prime time.
The Refuge Golf ↗Only in Havasu
The Nellie E. Saloon—better known as the Desert Bar—is an off-grid saloon in the mountains east of town, open seasonally on weekends. Live music, cold drinks, and a 4×4-worthy drive in.
Check seasonal hours ↗Something’s always on
Balloon festivals, car shows, live music, the famous Winterfest holiday lights and a December boat parade on the channel. Check the calendar before you visit.
Event calendar ↗Beyond the city
Some of the best scenery in the Southwest is within an easy drive—your rental gets you there.
Scenic drive & paddle
Just south of town, the Colorado River cuts through ancient volcanic cliffs. Drive the refuge back roads, kayak the marsh, or take a jet boat through the gorge—keep an eye out for bighorn sheep and bald eagles.
Refuge info ↗
10 miles south on Hwy 95
A quieter stretch of the lake with beaches, hiking trails, boat ramps and over 60 campsites. The easy Whytes Trail walk is a local favorite, and the sunsets are unforgettable.
Visit the park ↗Collect them all
Lake Havasu has 28 working replica lighthouses—copies of famous lights from both U.S. coasts, the Great Lakes and Puerto Rico. Spot them from the water or hunt them down along the shoreline.
Where to find them ↗Spring and fall bring perfect weather for both lake and desert. Summer is prime boating season—go early and stay hydrated. Winter is mild and popular with snowbirds.
Carry water everywhere, even on short walks. Cell service can be spotty outside town, so download maps before heading to the refuge or the Desert Bar.
