The desert is known for its outrageous heat but one must not forget that the desert can also be incredibly beautiful, serene, and be home to a great place for outdoor activities. It is true that weather must be accounted for as well as the idea of such dry heat. If you are unaccustomed to this type of weather, you must prepare adequately to remain safe and healthy during your stay here. Sunscreen and sunglasses or a sunhat are a must and staying hydrated is your top defense against the heat. Becoming dehydrated can happen much quicker than most people realize. Do not engage in physical activity in the desert without proper amounts of water and liquids!

That said, you can prepare for some great outdoor activities in the Lake Havasu City area; hiking, horseback riding, fishing, golf, biking, and water sports on the lake are some of the favorites. There are even options for going on jeep tours through the desert or mining for rocks! Ever since the bridge went up here, the city has grown and tourists flock to the area, because of this, anything that is possible as far as sports go, is!

Contact the your hotel to find out about sport rental equipment options as well as the Lake Havasu City tourist board online for a complete listing of excursion companies and sport rental shops in the area.
