Lake Havasu Boating and Swimming
Take in the gorgeous Lake Havasu like most locals and tourists do: by renting a boat and getting out on the water. This is your day to enjoy the rocky and blue sections of the Colorado River. After spending all morning out, get back to town for filling food before a short, rocky hike. Then, make your way back toward Phoenix, but not before a peaceful swim and an incredible burger.
