Amazing Beauty of Lake Havasu
Lake Havasu offers an amazing beauty all of its own. Lake
Havasu is surrounded by the gorgeous Sonoran Desert and
the incredible Mohave Desert. The Colorado River supplies
Lake Havasu with a large percentage of its water. Lake
Havasu City is best known as the home of the famous London
Bridge. The bridge began sinking into the River Thames in
London. Robert McCulloch, Founder of Lake Havasu City,
Arizona, and Chairman of McCulloch Oil Corporation was
looking for a landmark to make the area more interesting to
visitors. He submitted a bid for the bridge and eventually won.
The bridge was dismantled and shipped via barge to the coast
in California. The parts were taken by truck to Lake Havasu
and rebuilt "brick by brick." Today when people think about
Lake Havasu, the London Bridge immediately comes to mind.
It continues to draw visitors from all over the world and helps
keep the Havasu tourism industry going strong.
There's much more to Lake Havasu than the London
Bridge, however. The stars are bright and the sunsets are
breathtaking. The unique landscape of the lake surrounded
by desert brings many tourists back permanently.
Affordable housing prices allow residents to attain much
more for their money than most other areas that offer a
similar atmosphere. Although the area consists of tourists,
full-time residents and snowbirds, there is a true sense of
community throughout since the total population remains
relatively small.
Endless sources of entertainment offer both tourists and
residents an equal amount of activity. People may enjoy
swimming, waterskiing, jet-skiing and boating year-round
since the weather is always good. The city contains
several resorts as well as camping facilities and
entertainment. For relaxation, the picturesque solace of
the desert and Colorado River provides many choices
such as rafting, camping and biking. For those who
occasionally miss the bigger city atmosphere, Las Vegas
and California are just a short drive away.
