Lake Havasu City is a river recreationalist's dream come true!! The city was founded by a boat engine developer and specifically designed to offer sweeping views of the mountains on both sides with the lake below. Homes are frequently stucco-styled with clay tile roofs. Weekends are spent on the golf courses, boating and fishing, gathering with friends on one of the river island beaches, or exploring the nearby hills. Visitors from across the country and around the world visit Lake Havasu for its sun-loving, laid-back attitude. A true desert climate, you'll never need to shovel snow in Lake Havasu, but you will enjoy visits from quail, jackrabbits, and deer, along with an amazing array of waterfowl on the lake itself. Western Arizona is an RV-ers paradise with plenty of designated and off-road opportunities for exploring.
