This place is kind of known for it's partying and for being a town of it, but it really wasn't. Compared to southern Cal, this place is actually a pretty quiet town. I was also surprised to see that even the partiers had a bed time, at around 8:30 to 9:00 the crowds definitly thinned out. In fact, we were... More

After spending several days enjoying Lake Havasu beaches and swimming in the lake I began to notice the lack of other swimmers despite the current temperatures around 100 degrees.This weekend was a very busy one with an exciting boat show and spectacular boats all over the lake.There were a lot of people on the beach and around the channel and...

We went to visit the boyfriend's snowbird parents in Lake Havasu as a side trip in early March and spent a day walking around near the London Bridge area. It was a pleasant 65 degrees and sunny. It happened to be Spring Break, and there were about 50 teens and people in their early 20s celebrating, kinda, but not really.... More

Spent the morning whizzing down the lake taking in the scenery followed by an afternoon chilling in a small bay and then watching all the spring breakers... More

With all the beautiful scenery to be seen in the southwest of the US, it is hard to understand the appeal of this place beyond the fact that it is warm in the winter. The lake is a decent-sized one, but we couldn't figure out the appeal of taking a boat tour of it; a quiescent body of water surrounded... More

If near there go there and see the London Bridge etc. This a beautiful desert lake miles long formed by a dam on the Colorado River. Lots to do and we had great weather in early March.

Yes, we are in our late 60's and yes the fire has not gone out. So, we rented the jet skis from the Adventure Center and figured they could not be much harder to operate than snow mobiles. Well, chummy, let me tell you something, snowmobiles can be stopped! Seriously, we caught on quite quickly and headed up the Colorado... More

We rent a car and drive down to Lake Havasu on Sunday, as they have a very large outdoor flea market Sundays only from Memorial Day to Labor Day. So much to choose from...fruit, clothing, jewelry, antiques, household products, and great garden accessories! Remember, they are 1 hour ahead of Nevada so leave early enough. If the sun is too...
