4 Days / 3 Nights
Lake Havasu, AZ
Arizona’s playground — 60 miles of Colorado River lake beneath the original London Bridge.
Why Travelers Love Lake Havasu
Lake Havasu is the Southwest's great contradiction: a 60-mile ribbon of cool, clear Colorado River water running through the Mojave Desert, crossed by the actual London Bridge — purchased, shipped brick by brick from England, and rebuilt here in 1971. The lake logs nearly 300 days of sunshine a year, which makes it Arizona's boating capital: wakeboarding and jet-ski runs through Topock Gorge, quiet kayak mornings in the wildlife refuge among herons and bighorn sheep, and beach coves reachable only by water. Off the lake, the English Village at the bridge serves waterfront patios, and desert trails light up with wildflowers each spring. Your promotional package places you at a partner resort in Lake Havasu City, steps from the channel and the bridge.

Lake Havasu Questions, Answered
When is the best time to visit Lake Havasu?
March–May and September–November are ideal: 75–90°F with warm water and calmer crowds. Summer is peak boating season and runs hot — 100°F-plus — which is exactly why the lake stays busy. Winters are mild and quiet.
Can we rent a boat there?
Yes — pontoon, ski boat, jet ski, and kayak rentals operate year round from the channel marinas, and several outfitters deliver to resort docks.
What airport serves Lake Havasu?
Most visitors fly into Las Vegas (2.5 hours) or Phoenix (3 hours) and drive; the road trip through the Mojave is part of the experience.
