Lake Havasu

A DAY IN

LAKE HAVASU

A beautiful desert oasis off the beaten path, Lake Havasu City is widely considered the watercraft capital of the U.S. Lake Havasu City hosts major watercraft sports competitions all year long, including the World Jet Ski Finals, also known as the IJSBA. With that being said, Lake Havasu City’s claim to fame is the London Bridge. Purchased, shipped and reassembled in the city during the late 1960s, the London Bridge is the largest antique ever sold and the second-largest tourist attraction in the state.
