Lake Havasu State Park, State park with reservoir beach in Mohave County, United States
Description
Lake Havasu State Park is a recreational area along a reservoir on the Colorado River featuring sandy beaches and desert landscape. The property spans roughly 375 hectares and sits within Arizona's arid region.
History
The park was established in 1965 when Arizona sought to expand its public recreational opportunities. Its creation followed the region's development as a water resource destination for outdoor activities.
Culture
The park displays a botanical garden where visitors encounter native desert plants thriving in this harsh climate. The garden teaches through direct observation how vegetation adapts to extreme heat and limited water.
Practical
The area offers multiple camping options from RV sites with full services to tent areas right by the water. Visitors should prepare for intense heat and dry conditions, particularly during summer months.
Did you know?
The shoreline displays more than two dozen small replicas of famous lighthouses from across North America. This unexpected collection of maritime monuments stands in striking contrast to the surrounding desert landscape.
