Lake-Havasu is located on the Colorado River border of Arizona and California. Lake Havasu City, a self-sufficient, planned community that was established in 1963, sits on the east shore of the lake. The London Bridge is one of the main attractions at Lake Havasu. Yes - that's the original London Bridge. When the bridge started sinking into the River Thames in London, Robert P. McCulloch purchased it, had it dismantled and sent by barge to the California coast where it was loaded on a truck and shipped to Lake Havasu. It was then rebuilt brick by brick and has become a focal point for the city. A charming "English Village" was built underneath the bridge and offers a British flavor with Tudor style architecture, tree-lined walkways, quaint shops, and restaurants and "English" pubs. Forty-five mile long Lake Havasu is known as the "Personal Watercraft Capital of the World," and offers swimming, boating, fishing, water skiing, kayaking, jet skiing and more. More than 400 miles of shoreline and beaches offers camping, picnicking and hiking trails, plus there are state and commercially operated facilities that include a marina, RV parks, boat rentals, storage, boat slips and boat repair. Cruises of Lake Havasu on board an authentic paddlewheel boat are also available. In addition, the backcountry surrounding Lake Havasu offers miles of quiet wilderness lands for exploring, with historic mines, abandoned towns, unique wildlife and a diverse landscape of sand dunes, rugged canyons, mountains and basins. The Bill Williams National Wildlife Refuge is located at the south end of the lake and is an excellent location for wildlife watching.
