There is an ecological utopia in Arizona, and it is Lake Havasu.
For travelers seeking unpredictable, rugged desert freedom, Lake
Havasu City – nestled amidst craggy desert peaks on the Colorado
River in northwest Arizona – represents a rare segment of quiet,
jaw-dropping scenery.
Admirers of the outdoors will appreciate this region’s stark beauty,
embodied within the spectacular convergence of Lake Havasu’s desert
ecology, 450 miles of breathtaking shoreline and sparkling waters.
Lacking crowds and swarming tourists, this small town offers
travelers a unique opportunity to explore the drama of a desert
habitat – offering everything from hiking and jeep tours to bird
watching and exploring hidden trails with Indian petroglyphs. Warm,
dry air, rich animal life, and good fishing, hiking and camping
attract travelers every summer. But even with an influx of outdoor
enthusiasts every season, solitude in a pristine cove or on a lonely
hiking trail is readily accessible.
An essential part of playing in Lake Havasu City is planning at least
a few hours on its most apparent showpiece – Lake Havasu.
Internationally known as the “Personal Watercraft Capital of the
World,” Lake Havasu offers virtually every form of water-related
activity. Bring your watercraft toys or rent a boat or Jet Ski for
the day. Or if you prefer, take a cruise on an authentic paddlewheel
boat and see firsthand why Lake Havasu is known as one of the most
beautiful places in the world.
After your lake experience shop for trinkets and treasures in the
authentic English Village, right under the world famous London Bridge.
Dozens of restaurants offering a wide variety of menus await your
arrival.
Shopping, dining, or just relaxing in the warm desert sun, Lake
Havasu has something to offer for everyone!
It’s like our jingle says, shopping and golf, fun restaurants and more,
Lake Havasu City has 400 miles of coast line to explore. And with all
of those great attractions that make Lake Havasu City a tourist haven
are numerous stories to be told and memorable photographs to be captured
on film (or memory card as technology advances.) Whether you are a
reporter looking to come to Lake Havasu City to experience the sights
first hand, or are working the story over the phone, the CVB has all
the resources you need. Click on the links to the left and the story

As a destination or on the way to nearby attractions, Lake Havasu offers

Internationally recognized as America’s Home of the London Bridge, and
found on “Arizona’s West Coast,” Lake Havasu City is nestled amidst
rugged Arizona mountain peaks on the Colorado River – an extraordinary
convergence of desert ecology, breathtaking shoreline and small town charm.
Centrally located in America’s favorite southwest region and just a stone’s
throw away from Las Vegas, Phoenix and Los Angeles, Lake Havasu City offers
easily accessible, affordable and diverse meeting options in a warm, dry
climate year round.
Lake Havasu City offers several venues with varying amounts of meeting
space to accommodate groups of any size – from 10 – 1,000. A recent
multi-million dollar renovation of the Holiday Inn and a seven million
dollar renovation project underway at the Nautical Inn Resort and Conference
Center (Arizona’s only all-beachfront resort) show Lake Havasu’s commitment
to maintaining contemporary facilities. Meeting planners will also find
additional meeting space at the London Bridge Resort, Ramada Inn, Island Inn,
and award winning CV Wood Aquatic Center named after city developer and
Disneyland developer C. V. Wood. Also available on a year round basis are a
