Lake Havasu City, Desert resort city in Mohave County, Arizona, United States.
Lake Havasu City extends along the Colorado River between the Mohave Mountains, with residential areas surrounding a central waterfront district at 224 meters elevation.
Robert McCulloch established the settlement in 1963 as Site Six, transforming it from an Army Air Corps rest camp into a planned community for recreation and retirement.
The waterfront district features restaurants, shops, and entertainment venues that draw residents and visitors throughout the four distinct seasons of the desert climate.
Arizona State Route 95 provides main access to the city, while Lake Havasu City Transit operates local transportation services for residents and tourists.
The original London Bridge from England spans the Bridgewater Channel, relocated and reconstructed stone by stone between 1968 and 1971.
