In my "younger" days, I visited Havasu for the spring break atmosphere, but upon several recent visits, have found that Havasu is "growing up"--or maybe it's just me? Sure, there are still endless ways to enjoy the water, from boating (bring your own, or choose from endless tour and rental options), to jet skis, to parasailing. But I have been... more

Lake Havasu is a beautiful city. We very much enjoyed it. However, we rented a condo at the Rio Del Sol Condos. Huge mistake There are many of these condos for rent via owners or through a rental agency. We learned later that the quality of construction of this condo was extremely poor. There was absolutely NO sound proofing at... more

I live in San Diego and started to going Lake Havasu about 6 years ago. It is great to be able to hop on a waverunner and go for dozens of miles, or wakeboard into the sunset, cruise down the river on a party boat or hang out at the famous sand bar just north of the lake. I eventually... more

My family and I go to Lake Havasu City, AZ for family adventures on a regular basis. Usually at least 4 times a year. It is a great place to get away from the crowds and get out on a big lake. It is actually the Colorado River dammed to create the Lake. Lake Havasu means "blue water". It is... more

We were driving from Palm Springs to Las Vegas and detoured via Lake Havasu to see London Bridge. I'm glad we did as it was worth the extra miles. There isn't a lot to do in the area unless you are interested in the recreation facilities the lake has to offer. We were just there for the bridge and as... more

We are from California and went with some friends who have a nice boat. We were constantaly harrassed by the local police even though nobody was drinking. My friends wife is medically "enhanced". They cited her for "lewd" acts, we took it to trial and the judge did not allow a videotape of the entire day. I have come to... more

We took a speed boat from Laughlin down to Lake Havasu and loved it. A great day out. As Brits is was nice to see the bridge although the rest of the English exhibits including the London Bridge were all broken up! ~well worth the trip out. more

I would like to enlighten the readers of this website on where to stay in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. I drove the 150 miles south from Las Vegas to get away from the noise of the casino's and traffic as well. I checked into the London Bridge Hotel which is right next to the original bridge. The rooms were nice... more

My girlfriend and I took a trip to Havasu and rented a boat from Paradise Boat Rentals. The lake was beutiful but our experience with this company was terrible. They told us we damaged the prop and it would cost $35. They said the prop was suppose to be shown to us before we left. I asked them if we... more
