With plenty of fun to be had on the water, delicious restaurants to try, and sunshine to enjoy, what's not to love? If you are planning a weekend getaway in Lake Havasu, we have 5 tips to help you make it the perfect trip.
1. Book the right accommodations
Having the right place to stay should be at the top of your list. The Place will tick every box on your wishlist, with space for up to 6 guests in the 3 bedroom new construction home. A king bed in the master bedroom and two bedrooms with queen beds, all fitted with high end bedding, make coming home at the end of a long day playing in the water luxurious. Each bedroom has its own HDTV with Netflix streaming.
With a game room featuring vintage arcade games and a pool table, plus a backyard featuring a bbq, pool, and jacuzzi, you can even enjoy the whole weekend from the house without running out of fun things to do. The backyard also has a massive TV so you can watch the game or turn on a movie while you grill or hang out. The kitchen at The Place is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and a breakfast bar.
Having the right place to stay is non-negotiable. Check the availability of The Place before making your plans to make sure you will be comfortable all weekend.

Maybe you want to grab drinks in town instead of by the pool. Head over to one of the many local breweries in Lake Havasu, like Barley Brother's Brewery or College Street Brewhouse & Pub.
3. Get on the water
Of course the main event in Lake Havasu is playing on the water. There are plenty of ways to enjoy the crisp water, including:
- Renting a boat for fishing, wake boarding, tubing, or just cruising around the lake
- Paddle boarding
- Swimming
- Jet skiing
- Kayaks
- Boat-in dining
4. Visit London Bridge
Many people do not realize that the London Bridge (yes, the one from the nursery rhyme) was dismantled in 1968 and reconstructed in Lake Havasu. As the largest antique ever sold, it's a must-see while you are in town. The bridge is located in the English Village; visitors can take a tour through the hollow bridge and take part in the iconic love lock tradition.
5. Take a hike
If you visit when the weather isn't scorching, hiking in Lake Havasu is a must. The sights will take your breath away, with cliffs, waterfalls, and jaw dropping views of the lakes. Hiking in Lake Havasu works for hikers of all skill levels, with extremely challenging long hikes, easy nature trails, and everything in between.
