In a nutshell
A great place to spend New Years with friends
Yaqui Says: Its a good idea to double check which places to rent boats from. Adventure Center taken in one of my photo's obviously does not have any good reviews on the web. There are others located here, so double check before you rent from anyone first. A good idea is to check with...

The Captains Table: Great Steak and Seafood
stappm Says: Located at the Nautical Inn Resort - exceptional Seafood and Steak. We had blackened scallops with Blue cheese and a raspberry vinaigrette appetizer that was very yummy! The atmosphere was pleasant and overlooked the lake.
China Buffet: Very Good China Buffet
Basaic Says: The China Buffet Restaurant in Lake Havasu City has a wide variety of well-prepared Chinese food. And it is all you can eat!! The decor is typical of a chinese buffet restaurant, the staff attentive enough. The price was a little chaeper than average, Chicken in Black Bean...
VFW Post 9401: Hang Out With Fellow Veterans

stappm Says: Every year I re-think driving the Havasu..... it's about 10 hours and there is an airport in Havasu..... expensive but America West does fly there. It is cheaper to fly into Vegas but by the time we have ended up renting a car and driving down to Havasu we could have driven...

We are an older couple (in our fifties) who visited Lake Havasu a few weeks ago. We were ticketed for making an excessive wake on a rented wave runner. We were just learning how to ride the thing and we were barely moving....no way were we being dangerous or destructive or making an excessive wake. We were visiting mid-week and the lake was far from crowded. We were not under the influence and we are not party people on Spring Break. (We had heard that Lake Havasu was tough on spring breakers but thought that we would be ok because we are a middle age family on vacation.) Well... we were mistaken.....and we wont be taken again. The fine was $185 and the letter says that we have to appear in person to even request a hearing and then return again for our day in court.
Thanks to the information we have learned from reading the blogs and news reports....we know we are not alone. Many tourist beside us....are upset about what seems to be a very lucrative "ticketing" policy that effects car drivers and boaters.
We have also learned that is not worth the risk of returning to fight this outrageous ticket (though we only live a few hours away) because the system seems to be designed to make money off of us. According to other reports.... The Lake Havasu Judge has boasted about bringing in money to the city coffers......and he used to supervise the very officers who are targeting the tourist with trumped up tickets. One person called him a modern day Judge Roy Bean......We wish we had done our homework before we left for Lake Havasu.....we hope that our experience is helpful to others planning to visit. All I can say....is at least.....know before you go.......or you might be sorry.
P.S. Can anyone tell me where to get one of those "Boycott Lake Havasu" bumper stickers that I keep reading about?

Basaic Says: There is also a short but steep trail leading to a Lookout Point and a Camping Area on the opposite side of the parking lot from Whyte's Trail. Good walking shoes, plenty of water, sunscreen, a hat, weather appropriate clothing. Maybe a snack.
Basaic Says: Whyte's Trail is 1.5 miles each way and follows the shoreline of Lake Havasu, providing an excellent view of the lower portion of the Colorado River, the Whitsett Pumping Station and Parker Dam. The shoreline portion of the trail ends at Whytes Retreat (called Dog Beach by...

Growing up in Lake Havasu was very boring. There isn't much to do unless you rent or own a boat or water toy. You can always look at the London Bridge or the English Village, but that gets old fast....
