There
is a tremendous array of things to see in and around Lake Havasu
Arizona, with the London Bridge being the most enchanting and
perhaps intriguing attraction. This famed bridge which spanned
the River Thames for almost 140 years, from the 1830's until 1968,
now connects Lake Havasu City's mainland and island. The London
Bridge survived a terrorist attack in 1884 and the bombing from
the Germans in both World Wars. It is now one of the top tourist
attractions in Arizona drawing millions each year!
Beyond
the bridge is Lake Havasu, which continues to nchant water enthusiasts
of every type with its secluded coves and mountain scenery rarely
seen in the Southwest. Boats can glide onto palm studded beaches
for picnicking, or they can cut along rocky shores to explore
the mysteries of Topock Gorge and Havasu National Wildlife Refuge.
Boat tours offer trips into areas where ancient man once tread
and modern man seldom does. Bill Williams National Wildlife
Refuge on the south end of the lake offers wildlife watching
with over 200 species of birds plus bighorn sheep.
