Meet Cindi Butkus

Welcome to Lake Havasu City.

Lake Havasu has something to offer everyone. Lake Havasu takes center stage, a blue oasis stretching forty-five miles with over four hundred miles of scenic shoreline. Lake Havasu can take you from the Parker Dam to the south all the way up to Laughlin going north. When you’re not boating you might find yourself out in the desert – running, hiking, camping, or off-roading. With thousands of miles of trails accessible within minutes, you can explore the desert every day for years and still not discover all the abandoned mines, interesting trails, washes, and vistas.

The city itself was established in 1963 by Robert P. McCulloch as a self-sufficient, planned community and it was incorporated in 1978. Lake Havasu has come a long way from its humble beginning

as an Army Air Corps rest camp during World War II.

I have lived and been selling Real Estate here in Lake Havasu for 20 years. My son and I moved here in 1994. He is now married and I have a beautiful 3 year old grand daughter. My parents and many family friends retired and moved here shortly after we did. I am thankful that over the years I have

been blessed with the support, loyalty, and trust of my family, friends, clients and colleagues. Lake Havasu is a great place to live, raise a family, retire, vacation, and to enjoy the beauty that surrounds us.

I enjoy the lake, golfing, running, cooking, reading, family and helping people buy and sell homes. I have been selling Havasu for 20 years. Please call or email me for all your Real Estate Needs!

May the warmth of Lake Havasu continue to bring us all much happiness...

Page 6: LAKE HAVASU CITY · 2015 RELOCATION GUIDE LAKE HAVASU CITY ... as an Army Air Corps rest camp during World War II. Introduction Location Community Boating Top Employers Education

Boating & WatersportsLake Havasu is known for it’s watersports - from recreational boating to world-class watercraft racers. All types of water recreation can be found here including aqua cycles, bumper boats, jet skis, ski boats, pontoons, fishing boats, houseboats, sail boats, kayaks, canoes, stand-up paddle boarding, and parasailing. If you don’t have your own equipment these can all be rented from local area businesses.

The LakeLake Havasu remains at a near constant water elevation that rarely varies more than four feet, providing boaters with ideal conditions year-round and contributing to its reputation as one of the best boating lakes around. The average depth of Lake Havasu is 35 ft, with the deepest point being approximately 90 ft.

Water temperatures range from 75 to 85 degrees during much of the year, perfect for a quick dip.

Bridgewater ChannelEvery day is a virtual non-stop boat parade when you’re at the Bridgewater Channel, the narrow ribbon of ‘no wake’ navigable water that runs beneath the London Bridge creating a waterfront for shops and restaurants. The southern end of the man-made channel is bordered by sandy beachfront, a favorite resting, socializing and tanning place for boaters to “beach’ during spring, summer and early fall.

Boating - Where to go

Copper CanyonIn years past, Copper Canyon was considered Lake Havasu’s number one gathering place for boaters looking to party. Today, Copper Canyon, still popular with boaters and as breathtakingly beautiful as ever, offers a bit calmer, more serene atmosphere. The entrance to the canyon cove is now marked with “no wake” buoys and an open access lane is maintained for increased safety.

Grass IslandGrass Island marks the beginning point of Lake Havasu’s lower southern portion, the gateway to places like Copper Canyon, Friendly Island, Steamboat Cove and Havasu Springs. Grass Island varies greatly in size depending upon the water level of the lake. At times of high water marks, the island is almost totally hidden. However, boaters need to take particular care when approaching the island because of shallow waters and very rocky bottoms surrounding the shoreline.

Balance RockIn the far reaches of Balance Rock Bay at the northeastern most point is a masterpiece of natural erosion at work. Sitting atop a slip pedestal of softer conglomerate rock is a solid mushroom-shaped mass which weighs many tons. The pedestal base was formed over thousands of years thanks to natural stream erosion removing the softer lower rock material below at a faster rate than the more dense rock above. You can boat right up to it or hike to it.

Red RockThe afternoon sun lights up the cliffs of Red Rock cove as though they are almost on fire. Located just north of Pilot Rock on the Arizona side of the river, Red Rock is a popular bass and striper fishing ground for late day anglers. The color intensity of the red rock cliffs is so vivid that the water immediately beneath the cliffs turns a deep amber color as well. Boaters are able to safely approach the cliffs for a closer look as this portion of the lake is among the deepest sections of the southern end.

FishingLake Havasu boasts the best year-round fresh water fishing in Arizona and California. One can find bass, crappies, bluegills, carp and catfish in the many coves and inlets of the deep Water Sports water. Take-off Point, Mesquite Cove, Havasu Springs and Site Six are all fishing access areas.

The Lake Havasu Fish Hatchery and The Havasu Fisheries Project are very important for future generations of fisherman. They are instrumental in bringing back several species of fish that disappeared with the construction of Parker Dam. Seven isolated coves have been set aside to raise the populations of bonytail chub and razorback suckers. After they reach twelve inches in length they are released into the lake.

Along the 450 miles of shoreline at Lake Havasu, you will find sandy beaches, perfect weather and campsites. Lake Havasu in the desert southwest is a great place for water sports and camping.

London BridgeIn the early 1800’s beaver and bear trappers set up camps along the river where Lake Havasu City stands today. By 1830 these trappers had been chased away by the Mojave Indians. Later, Spaniards replaced these camps with mining camps. With the great need for water, the Parker Dam was constructed in 1938, flooding these camps forever. Fishing camps were the next to follow.

During World War II the Army Air Corps used this area as a testing site known as Site Six. The camp areas were used as barracks and the nearby peninsula as a recreation area for the airmen. By the early 1960s the airmen were gone and the fishermen were back. Industrialist Robert McCulloch Sr., while flying over the area, thought it would be the perfect place for testing his company’s outboard boat motors.

McCulloch purchased 3,500 acres in the peninsula area. He had a 100-unit mobile home park built for the workers. In 1963 he bought a 26-mile area for under $75 an acre. McCulloch then turned his interests to making Lake Havasu a retirement community. The Lake Havasu Hotel was built, McCulloch International Airlines was started, real estate agents were put in place and 40 white Jeeps were purchased, all in anticipation of prospective buyers. The 11 airplanes that comprised McCulloch International Airlines were used to bring prospective buyers in for free. The Jeeps were used by real estate agents to show them around the area. McCulloch then decided to start a chainsaw manufacturing plant to stimulate the economy. There were 3 factories with 400 employees.

In the early 1960’s, it was discovered that 130-year old London Bridge was slowly sinking into the Thames River. Not wanting to demolish the bridge, London decided to hold an auction for the bridge. Always the great promoter, McCulloch thought it would be the perfect attraction for his growing city. His bid of $2,460,000 was the winning bid. It took 3 years to transport it across the ocean and through the Panama Canal to its present location. At a cost of about $8 million, it was reconstructed brick by brick and a channel was dredged under it. It opened for business on October 10, 1971. A paper mache exact replica of the old horse drawn English Royal Coach (which is on display at the London Bridge Resort) was given to McCulloch for purchasing the bridge.

By 1975 the population had reached 15,500. The free flights were discontinued in 1978. It was estimated that about 137,000 prospective buyers had made this flight.

The bridge cost the lives of an estimated 150

workmen.

Havasu HistoryThe London BridgeThe stone London Bridge was begun around the year 1176, and completed in the early years of the 13th century. The first ‘London Bridge’ was Roman, and probably built of timber. However, the earliest written reference to a London Bridge can be found in the section in the Saxon Chronicles that deals with the later tenth century. he wooden Roman and Saxon London Bridges were vulnerable to fire and flood, so Peter de Colechurch determined to build a lasting bridge of stone. During the 30 years that it took to build, the bridge cost the lives of an estimated 150 workmen. The wooden Roman and Saxon London Bridges were vulnerable to fire and flood, so Peter de Colechurch was determined to build a lasting bridge of stone. The 1831 bridge was the last project of engineer John Rennie and was completed by his son John Rennie the younger .

In 1666, the houses on London Bridge were saved from the Great Fire of London, thanks to an earlier fire in 1633 - which had destroyed the houses close to the north bank. Consequently, there wasn’t enough material left for a major fire to ensue. In the mid 1700s, the houses on the bridge were removed completely, and a larger middle arch was created, by removing one of the piers (or starlings).

In the 1820’s a new London Bridge was built, north of the old one, and this opened in 1831. In that same year, the destruction of the old bridge began in earnest, after it had been in place some 622 years.

In the 1960’s, the London Bridge of 1831 was transported, stone by stone, to Lake Havasu, Arizona.

Nearby AttractionsLake Mead National Recreation AreaLake Mead National Recreation Area offers a wealth of things to do and places to go yearround. Its huge lakes cater to boaters, swimmers, sunbathers, and fishermen while its desert rewards hikers, wildlife photographers, and roadside sightseers.

Three of America’s four desert ecosystems--the Mojave, the Great Basin, and the Sonoran Deserts--meet in Lake Mead NRA. As a result, this seemingly barren area contains a surprising variety of plants and animals, some of which may be found nowhere else in the world.

Katherine LandingA complete lakeside resort area with marina, boat and jet ski rentals, waverunners and seadoo rental’s, plus a sandy beach area where you can picnic and barbecue. Campgroundspots with and without RV hook-ups are available. There is also a motel, boat storage yard, boat repair shop, store, restaurant, and lounge.

Katherine’s Landing is located on the Arizona side of the Colorado River in the Lake Mead National Recreational Area.

Laughlin NevadaIn the heart of the Desert Southwest, Laughlin is only 90 miles southeast of Las Vegas, just a few hours from Southern California and a short drive from Lake Havasu City.

Laughlin’s current location was established in the 1940’s. The settlement consisted of a motel and bar that catered to gold and silver miners who dotted the map, and to the many construction workers who built Davis Dam.

Today there about eleven major hotel/casinos in Laughlin providing over 10,000 rooms, about 125,000 square feet of meeting space, over 60 restaurants, two museums, a 34-lane bowling center and a variety of boutiques, spas and salons. Several thousand casino workers cross the Colorado by shuttle boat or the Laughlin Bridge daily from Bullhead Cityand Fort Mohave.

The city by the Colorado River now attracts nearly 53 million visitors annually who visit Laughlin to gamble, enjoy water sports on the Colorado and attend many high-profile special events hosted by the community.

This resort destination boasts a multitude of unspoiled attractions, abundant golf and spas, year ‘round, near perfect weather, and even a wedding chapel or two.

OatmanPerched on the rugged rocks of the Black Mountains at an elevation of 2,710 ft. is the living ghost town of Oatman. This former gold mining town, 28 miles from Kingman, on Historic Route 66 is as untamed and original as it was in its heyday in mid to late 1800’s.

The town and its 300 or so residents include artists, writers and musicians along with a colony of wild burros (descendants of old miner’s burros) who roam the streets during the day, seeking handouts, then disappearing into their desert home at night.

Oatman’s rough-hewn Main Street (Route 66) has been featured in several movies. Its three saloons, with their unpainted wooden floors and outside walkways are as they were in the late 1800’s.
