An ideal getaway for visitors of all ages, Lake Havasu City is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the city, for its picturesque locals and the plethora of activities it has to offer.<
The balmy weather of this waterfront city further adds to its viability as an all-year vacation spot. The city was originally developed by Robert P. McCulloch in 1964 as a planned community. Once here, don't forget to visit the famous London Bridge, which connects the shores of a manmade canal leading away from Lake Havasu, from which the city draws its name. The unlikely name is derived from the fact that the bridge was bought from the City of London in 1968. From here, head straight for the London Bridge Resort Village, which is built in the likeness of a British district and is a favorite amongst university students visiting during Spring break.
If you happen to stop by in the winter months, you can feast your eyes on the four-day long display of fireworks by the Western Pyrotechnic Association, aptly labeled the Western Winter Blast. Boating enthusiasts can also look forward to boating conventions, which are regularly hosted here, while boat rentals on the shores of Lake Havasu make for a pleasant afternoon afloat the placid waters. And if you're looking for some excitement, try the Aquatic Center, or the Rotary Park. Bowling doesn't get much better than at the Havasu Lanes, while art aficionados can treat their senses to the number of galleries and museums that dot this city.
