Fun Facts and Information about Lake Havasu

Posted on January 23, 2012 by Lake Havasu Vacation Home Property Manager

Lake Havasu is a result of a man-made dam that holds up the water of the Colorado River. It is located on the Arizona-California border south of Interstate 40.

From Davis Dam (Lake Mohave), the Colorado river flows south about fifty seven miles to an area commonly known as “the sandbar”. There, the lake proper begins, covering about 21 thousand surface acres and extending twenty nine miles to Parker Dam.

The maximum depth in the lower one-third of the lake is about seventy five feet. The average lake depth is about thirty feet deep. The river section that is upstream from the sandbar offers an average depth of about twelve feet with scour holes that drop to about fifty feet and sand or rock bars just under the surface.

Lake Havasu’s shoreline is quite irregular, ranging from mountainous bedrock to gravel and sand aggregates in the backs of coves. The gravel and sand comes from desert washes. Thank goodness, development is confined to state and city parks, marina and resort concessionaires and the Chemehuevi Indian reservation on the California side. The entire Arizona side from Parker Dam to Lake Havasu City is a Bureau of Land Management area with over one hundred campsites that are accessible by boat only.The vast majority of the water in the lake comes from the Colorado River. The only tributary, Bill Williams River, enters the lake near Parker Dam. Flow of the Bill Williams is dictated by runoff from the Prescott, AZ area and release from Alamo Dam. Water exits Lake Havasu through the hydroelectric dam or through either the Metropolitan Canal in California or the Central Arizona Canal.

The lake’s water quality could be described as moderately fertile with colors ranging from greenish clear in the main lake to brownish in the backs of coves and river backwaters. Visibility ranges from four feet in some coves and Mouth of Bill Williams River to twenty four feet in the main lake. The water is alkaline with pH ranging from 7.6 to 8.6. Both calcium and manganese carbonates account for higher hardness levels. A thermocline develops during the latter half of summer at depths from twenty to thirty five feet, so if you really want to cool off, that’s the place to go

Lake Havasu Vacation Renters Enjoy the London Bridge and City History

Posted on August 20, 2011 by Lake Havasu Vacation Home Property Manager

This brief history of Lake Havasu City comes from Wikipedia:

Lake Havasu City’s initial community first started as an Army Air Corps rest camp during World War Two on the shores of Lake Havasu. The actual City was first set up in 1963 by Robert P. McCulloch (of McCulloch chainsaws) as an urban planned community. McCulloch purchased 3,500 acres of property on the east side of the lake along Pittsburg Point, the peninsula that eventually would be transformed into “the island”. The city was incorporated in 1978.

Interesting, and here’s the real story … much of the content deserves credit from Havasu magazine …

Lake Havasu City’s incredible start …

It’s pretty incredible that Robert P. McCulloch was able to transport and reassemble, piece by piece, the historic London Bridge, almost halfway across the globe, and rebuild it in the Arizona desert. What’s REALLY incredible is that he was able to build a city in that same dry space of desert, especially since there was no major road winding its way through the could-be city.

Local legend says that McCulloch first spied the eventual site of what would become Lake Havasu City when he flew over the area in search of a place to test the outboard boat motors he manufactured. Had he flown over that site less than thirty years prior, there would have been no Lake Havasu to host the McCulloch test center.

History prior to Parker Dam

When Parker Dam was built, what we now know as Lake Havasu was created in the 1930’s. Until the construction of the dam system, the Lake was just a remote segment of the Colorado River winding its way through the rough and remote desert land.

In the early 1800’s, rough and tumble mountain men made their way up that portion of the river, setting traps for beavers in the streams. In the 1830’s the formable Mohave Indians made the area less desirable for the trappers, and so the not quite as tough mountain men moved on.

The Spaniards also made their way into the area, mining up and down the river in the nearby mountains. Then, more prospectors came. Along the riverbanks, mining camps sprung up. Just goes to show that water and resources that can be traded for money can be a great way to get a wonderful vacation getaway town going.

We hope you enjoyed this history and your vacation home rental in Lake Havasu.
