  • Lake Havasu City is considered Arizona's beach but also a spring break hot spot. But of course Lake Havasu City is much more than just a party place as they have many residential neighborhoods going up the slopes. In this Lake Havasu travel guide we check out the island, the London Bridge as well as the floating Bars in Parker. We drive out to the Colorado river from Phoenix through Wickenburg and Salome.
    #LakeHavasu #Arizona #Parker
    Living in Arizona is quite a unique experience because of the vastness that the state offers. From the Sonoran Desert in the south to the high country in the north all the way up towards the Four Corners east and the Grand Canyon in the west. Known as the Grand Canyon state, Arizona is diverse in many ways. The state tree is the Palo Verde, the state cactus is the Saguaro, the state bird is the Cactus wren.

    I've lived in Lake Havasu City for around 25 years, pretty much my entire life (I turn 27 in December). It's a nice, mostly peaceful and pretty active place, lots of space for watersports, off-roading, hiking, etc. We get pretty slammed with tourists and travelers during the holidays, and plenty of college kids partying during spring break. As far as housing, there's no shortage of beautiful homes and spacious properties for families, older married couples, or just people with higher levels of income looking to purchase vacation properties or second homes. There's quite a bit to see and experience here, pretty unique when compared to other cities of similar size in different areas of the state/country. If you (anyone reading this) ever get a chance to visit, I recommend it. It might just become your second home.

I visited again last summer and placed a padlock on the bridge to symbolize our eternal love. I just learned from a friend that lives in Havasu that someone has determined the hundreds of padlocks are a safety hazard. Please help to restore the placement of locks and let visitors celebrate their lives together. Thank you for your channel, very interesting and informational.

    The problem with Lake Havasu City, beyond the unbelievable heat in the summer, is the above-ground power lines. The original planners didn't see the need to bury power/communication lines and it makes the views toward the lake unsightly. There's a reason modern neighborhoods put all this wiring/fiber underground.

When I was a younger I wanted more of a party boating experience and it was and still is. Havasu has neat things like super markets, big box stores and HOSPITIALS. Parker has these things too but most are in the town proper which is 17+ miles from me. Havasu is a real city with police and government stuff. Still I love both areas. Sure it gets screaming hot in the summer but that's what boating is for.

    I just discovered this channel and I'm hooked! I love your attention to detail and how you showed your route on a map. Also thank you for all the information about the different establishments you stopped by on the way; I'm marking them down for my own trip.
    I did pass through this area when I was driving from Tucson to Northern California back in 2010. I was driving through at night so I didn't get to really stop and experience the area. But I was driving on Highway 95 along the Colorado River at dusk, and the deepening dark blue sky was one of the most beautiful things I ever saw.
    I really want to do a trip out there and experience it for real! I was originally thinking of going in July 2021 but yeah, way too hot! What do you think is a good time of the year to go, when places aren't too overcrowded but aren't totally dead either?

    Having moved to Lake Havasu in 1965 I'm glad I got to enjoy Havasu when it was really cool before the bridge.There is a book called "Livin at the End of Old 95" by Rick Kingsbury. If anyone wants t read about the greatest five years you have to read the book. All the way from Miller's Folly Crazy Ed's Mundell's to the Lake Havasu High School's first year undefeated football team it was the best. I can't thank Rick enough for the book and the memories of a missing finger he lost. Nothing since had been nearly as as cool as Havasu in the begining.

      At an auction for the bridge,he winning bid came from Robert P. McCulloch, American entrepreneur and chairman of McCulloch Oil Company. McCulloch paid $2,460,000-plus shipping costs of around $240,000-to bring the bridge over, piece by piece.

    Boring little correction, but the Colorado no longer reaches the Gulf of California. There is a dam at the US/Mexico border that diverts what little water we leave to Baja California for irrigation. Not allowing the water to complete its journey has essentially eliminated the Colorado River Delta as well as severely affected marine life in the Gulf.

      Having lived in that area for 27 years (up river an hour), you might be interested in knowing that Lake Havasu City is probably 98% Caucasian and EXTREMELY conservative politically. Chump carried that county (Mohave County) by 75%. No exaggeration. Lake Havasu City is the largest of the four large cities in the county which is the fifth largest county (size-wise) in the country. The states of Connecticut and Rhode Island would fit in the county. The population is spread out and much of it is quite poor. High crime, low educational level, low taxes, low standard of living, poor health care, low wages. LOTS of gun-toters. Brutally hot in the summers. Outside of Death Valley, this is the hottest part of North America. Wonderfully mild winters but VERY windy. Most residents are from Southern California and they brought their “values” with them. Population of Lake Havasu is 50k+ and booming.
