Lake Havasu City at a Glance
Lake Havasu City is located on the Arizona-California
border on the eastern shore of Lake
Havasu, which is fed by the Colorado
River. Every year thousands of tourists visit the city to see the London
Bridge, which was disassembled in England
and relocated to Arizona over a period of three years, where it was rebuilt in
1971. Beneath the bridge is a Tudor-style retail center know as the English
Village, which boasts a variety of boutiques and specialty shops, as well
as traditional British-style pubs. The annual London
Bridge Days commemorates the bridge's Arizona dedication with a parade, concerts
and a Renaissance festival. With sunshine more than 300 days a year, the city
supports a multitude of activities, beaches and recreational facilities for watersports
of all kinds, including jet boating, water skiing and kayaking. Birdwatchers are
well accommodated at Havasu
National Wildlife Refuge, while history buffs can visit the Lake
Havasu Museum of History.
