Cattail Cove State Park

Lake Havasu City is located up the road. The London Bridge brings many visitors to Lake Havasu City each year. The existing London Bridge in Lake Havasu City was opened in London, England in 1831. Robert McCulloch of Lake Havasu City purchased it in 1968 for 1.2 million. The London Bridge is built of granite, has five arches, is 930 feet long, is 49 feet wide, and is made up of 22 million pounds of stone. As the bridge was dismantled each of the 10,276 pieces was marked with a number so placement in the reconstruction could be the same once the bridge arrived in Lake Havasu City.

Havasu National Wildlife Refuge was established by Executive Order by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1941 for the primary purpose of providing migratory bird habitat. The refuge is comprised of 37,515 acres along the lower Colorado river in Arizona and California. The refuge protects 30 river miles and encompasses 300 miles of shoreline from Needles, California, to Lake Havasu City, Arizona. One of the last remaining natural stretches of the lower Colorado River flows through the 20-mile long Topock Gorge.
