Lake Havasu is also the perfect place to go fishing, rent an ATV, or explore for some breathtaking landscapes to photograph.
Smaller Crowds
The busiest times to visit Lake Havasu are Spring and Summer, when everyone flocks to the lake for water sports, Spring Break trips, and enjoying the heat. If crowds are not your thing, you will love the more peaceful atmosphere of Lake Havasu in the winter. There are still plenty of things to do, with most restaurants and stores staying open all year round in spite of the busy season ending, but you won’t have to deal with anywhere near the same traffic, late night noise, or lively crowds as you would during the warmer months.
You Can Still Enjoy the Lake
Lake Havasu, the boating capital of the Southwest, is the perfect place to enjoy the water in the winter. While the water temps will be too cold to swim, rent a boat or some kayaks to explore the beautiful water when it’s less crowded. If you are confident you won’t fall in, try a stand up paddle board for a scenic workout!
As you explore the lake, channel, and river, you will see 27 historic lighthouses from around the country lining the borders. You might like booking a cruise to take a guided tour of the area and learn about the historic and photogenic lighthouses, explore caves, and maybe even spot some wildlife.
