Lake-Havasu-City is located on the border of Arizona and California in northwestern Arizona. As of the 2010 census, the population was 52,527. It sits on the east shore of Lake Havasu (on the Colorado River). Lake Havasu City is a planned community, established in 1963. It's become a popular tourist town, including a spring break destination for students, and in the winter months, retirees flock to the city from the colder regions of the U.S. and Canada. One of the main attractions in the city is the original London Bridge. When the bridge started sinking into the River Thames in London, Robert P. McCulloch purchased it, had it dismantled and shipped to Lake Havasu City. It was rebuilt, brick by brick, across a 930 foot long, man-made canal that goes from Lake Havasu to Thompson Bay. A charming "English Village" was built underneath the bridge with Tudor style architecture, tree-lined walkways, quaint shops, and "English" pubs. Forty-five mile long Lake Havasu is known as the "Personal Watercraft Capital of the World," and more than 400 miles of shoreline offers camping, picnicking and hiking trails. The backcountry surrounding Lake Havasu City has miles of wilderness for exploring, with historic mines, ghost towns, and a diverse landscape of sand dunes, rugged canyons, mountains and basins. Special events in Lake Havasu City include the World Jet Ski Final Races, many fishing tournaments, custom boat regattas, the Western Winter Blast pyrotechnics convention and the Havasu Island Hot Air Balloon Fest & Fair.
