Plan Your Perfect Lake Havasu Weekend
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.

The backyard also has a massive TV so you can watch the game or turn on a movie while you grill or hang out.

Looking for something more elegant? You might like Cha Bones, a classic American steakhouse with a sophisticated aesthetic and impressive menu.
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.
