    • Check out gorgeous Colorado River stops on the way to Lake Havasu City.
    • Rent a boat and hit the lake like locals do.
    • Dine on local favorites along the water.
    Lake Havasu City has a water-sports reputation, but this route will allow you to experience so much more. The Colorado River offers incredible waterside activities like hiking, birding and fishing. Once you are in Lake Havasu City, you will get to experience the delicious cuisine the small town has to offer, not to mention take in some of the glorious bluff scenery. While you will definitely want to rent a boat and get out on the lake, do not miss swimming and hiking along some of the beautiful state parks along the shore.

    Day 2

    43 mi

    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.
