Lake Havasu State Park
Trade the Valley for a lakeside weekend with beaches, boating and desert scenery along the Colorado River.
Your trip at a glance
Lake Havasu State Park is in Lake Havasu City in western Arizona. It is better suited to an overnight or weekend than a quick Phoenix day trip; allow several hours each way and check the route for your starting point.
Make the most of your visit
Enjoy the shoreline
The state park lists beaches, nature trails and boat ramps among its features. Check current conditions and park rules, including where swimming, boating and pets are allowed.
Plan a lake day
Build in time for the drive, parking and a relaxed afternoon by the water. If boating is part of the plan, verify launch requirements and water conditions before arriving.
Camp or stay in town
The park offers camping, including RV recreation. Review site sizes, available services and reservation details for your equipment; overnight visitors can also explore lodging in Lake Havasu City.
Explore Lake Havasu City
Make time for the London Bridge area while visiting the city; the bridge and state park are separate stops.
Know before you go
Check the park’s current fees, closures, camping availability and weather before leaving. Summer heat can be intense; plan shade, water and appropriate sun protection for the entire group.
