What to do and see in Lake Havasu City, Arizona (AZ): The Best Sights & Landmarks
Shimmering Lake Havasu, the centerpoint of Lake Havasu City, was formed in 1938 after the Parker Dam was built. It is perhaps most famous for the London Bridge that looms above it. Yes, the actual London Bridge, bought by the area's founding father, Robert McCullough, for $2,460,000, after the city of London put it up for auction in 1968. Today, Lake Havasu City is one of the most popular vacation destinations in Arizona and offers a range of recreational activities for families, couples and single travelers. Golf on championship courses, soak up the sun on the shores of Lake Havasu's beaches or explore nearby parks by foot and bicycle. Houseboats dot the lake and are available for rent along with paddle boats, kayaks, jet skis and other types of water sports equipment. Like most resort towns Lake Havasu is chock-full of hotels, restaurants, shops and non-stop action.

The original bridge from England was purchased by the founder of Lake Havasu City and reconstructed at Lake Havasu in 1971.

Those granite blocks have an amazing story to tell! The tour boat operators provide great information as to why, how and when the bridge came to Lake Havasu, and the museum's display rounds out the story. The visitor's center also has great information too. The excellent walking paths along the channel offer great views from both sides, and of course you can walk and drive over it too. To say Mr. McCullough and his team had a great idea would be an understatement. The only downside in the area is that the shops in the English Village are suffering economic woes and need some sprucing up.

You can find it all on McCulloch Blvd in downtown Lake Havasu City. There are antique, art, gift and quality hand made shops to choose from. You will also find a variety of restaurants ranging from family, fine dining, pubs and more. An old fashioned ice cream shop, Bling, book store with toys and baby clothes, candles and lotions and more. You'll also find a hardware store, cupcake shop, tattoo parlors, barbershops, hair salons, clothing stores. You can't get all this at a mall! And most of the shops are family owned and operated. Note: most stores and some restaurants are pet friendly. Oh, and did I mention there is also a smoke shop!
