When is the Best Time of Year to Visit Lake Havasu?
The good news is, there's not really a bad time to visit Lake Havasu. It all depends on what type of vacation you want to enjoy, specifically what you want to do. Spring is the perfect choice for warm weather, water activities, and events like Spring Break and the Desert Storm Poker Run. Summer is undeniably hot, but perfect for serious boaters and families. If you prefer cooler temperatures and a peaceful escape, fall is quieter with more pleasant temperatures and ideal for outdoor adventure. In the winter, visitors can escape colder climates with daytime highs in the 60s and 70s and plenty of outdoor beauty to explore.
