General presentation
Lake Havasu
Large desert reservoir, coves and city organized around an authentic London bridge up in Arizona.
The discovery of Lake Havasu is built around London Bridge, Lake Havasu State Park and SARA Park. The stay thus alternates between the shores and the lakes, desert areas, urban life and natural spaces, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. The main sites are generally easy to access.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Nature and panorama
London Bridge
The London Bridge of the Lake Havasu creates a singular shift: a stone bridge from London, set on the edge of a lake in Arizona. Around, English-inspired wharves, boats and facades turn the history of its movement into a somewhat unusual walk in the middle of the desert.
Lake
Lake Havasu State Park
Lake Havasu State Park gives access to beaches, calm waters and open views of the mountains on the other bank. The place speaks especially to travelers who want to alternate desert road and time by the water, with swimming, boat, picnic or sunset on the lake.
Nature and landscape
SARA Park
SARA Park south of Lake Havasu City, leads to dry landscapes of washer, dark rocks and narrow passages. The Crack in the Mountain Trail attracts walkers for its narrowed canyon before the arrival to Colorado, to be preferred outside the warmest hours.
Nature and landscape
Havasu National Wildlife Refuge
Havasu National Wildlife Refuge It protects from wetlands, Colorado arms, reeds and calm shores in a otherwise very arid environment. It comes to observe water birds, herons, ducks and river landscapes, with a more discreet atmosphere than the water sectors of the Lake Havasu.
