From Blended Travels:
Lake Havasu City Arizona is a gorgeous waterfront city on Lake Havasu with a population of approximately sixty thousand people. Lake Havasu is a large reservoir formed by the Parker Dam on the Colorado River. Lake Havasu straddles the border between Arizona and California with four hundred miles of stunning shoreline. Along the shores of Lake Havasu, there are twenty-seven fully functioning lighthouse replicas. The replicas were built to the specifications of the originals from the East coast, West coast, and Great Lakes. London Bridge is probably the most famous landmark in Lake Havasu City. It was originally built in 1831 to span the River Thames in London England. However, by 1962 it was no longer sturdy enough to carry the increased volume of traffic in London. Entrepreneur Robert McCulloch purchased the bridge for 2.4 million and had it shipped over piece by piece to the United States and had it reassembled in the Mojave Desert. Once the bridge was constructed, a channel was dredged underneath it and the bridge opened in 1971. Lake Havasu City has some beautiful parks, such as Rotary Park which is right on the shores of Lake Havasu. Another great park is London Bridge Beach Park, which is located right along the famous Bridgewater Channel. For $4 round-trip you can take a ferry from Lake Havasu City to Havasu Landing Resort and Casino on the California side of the reservoir. Ferry trips depart hourly, just north of London Bridge.
