You'll most definitely want to visit the London Bridge! And the information center doubles as a museum with artifacts, pictures, and even blueprints of how the bridge was moved from London, England to Lake Havasu. Best of all, admission is free!
Free souvenirs in the desert...or as the locals might call it 'rockhounding'. Collect gems as you wonder around the desert. We found lots of turquoise during our visit!
A number of people like to hike the desert, and it's easy to find a trail. Here's a list of some of the best trails. If you would prefer hiking with someone who is experienced, contact one of the popular hiking clubs in the area.
One rare find in Lake Havasu City is 23 lighthouses. Each lighthouse is a 1/3 replica of a famous lighthouse on the West Coast, East Coast or the Great Lakes.
