[edit] By air

Lake Havasu City is very far from any major airport. Your best bet would probably be Las Vegas McCarran International Airport (IATA: LAS) [2].

[edit] By car

Lake Havasu City is on Arizona State Route 95, which is accessed via Exit 9 off Interstate 40, about 10 miles east of the California border and 42 miles west of Kingman.

[edit] By train

Needles, California, on Interstate 40 about 20 miles west of Exit 9, is the closest city with an Amtrak station. It is served by the Southwest Chief [3] Chicago - Los Angeles route.

[edit] Get around

Arizona State Route 95 is the city's main (and only) artery.

[edit] See and Do

There are some great sunsets to see in this area in the summer as the sun goes down over the surrounding hills. There are many places to do watersports on the lake with this a popular destination for boating holidays. There is also a golf range near one of the hotels.
