Many only know Lake
Havasu as a popular spring break location, a site for party loving boys and
girls, which has been spotlighted by MTV. But Lake Havasu City is so
much more, a favorite winter destination for retirees, seeking sunshine,
golf courses and water
recreation. Boaters and fishermen alike flock to Lake Havasu in all
seasons.
Lake Havasu is 45 miles
long, located on the California and Arizona border. Lake Havasu, a portion
of the Colorado River, was created with the construction of Parker Dam in
1938. Parker Dam's primary function is to provide reservoir water storage
for California and Arizona. Yet, long ago skiers and fishermen alike
discovered other uses for the blue waters of Lake Havasu.
Founded in 1964, Lake
Havasu City was incorporated in 1974, and currently has a population of
approximately 52,000. Located in Arizona’s Mohave County, it sits at an
elevation of 575 feet. Havasu’s seasonal climate ranges from 45° -
69° in the winter, 60° - 88° during the spring, 82° - 110° in the
summer and 52° - 90° during the fall, with a total average precipitation
of 2.67 inches.
Lake Havasu City, is home
to the famous London Bridge. The London Bridge celebrated its official grand opening
in October 1971.
Lake Havasu City is just
two and a half hours drive (153 miles) from Las Vegas Nevada, three hours
from Phoenix, Arizona (208 miles) and five hours from Los Angeles,
