4th of July in Lake Havasu Features Fireworks Over the Lake

July 4th takes place on a Monday this year. For many of us, that means a three-day weekend spent out on the lake. But once the sun goes down, what will you be doing? I don't know about you, but I'll be watching the fireworks show!

Organizers invite spectators to come watch the July 4th fireworks show either on the beach or on their boats. While the show does not start until dusk (around 9 pm), Rotary Park Beach and the surrounding area fill up well beforehand with people clamoring for their own spot to watch from. All you need to do is get to your viewing location early and park/sit/anchor in place. Then, as it nears 9 pm, tune your radio to KNTR 980AM for a musical simulcast that syncs right up with the pyrotechnical display.

The best places to watch the show include:

• Rotary Beach
• The Nautical Beachfront Resort (limited parking)
• London Bridge Beach
• Thompson Bay (by boat only)

Boat Launch Ramp Sites Around Lake Havasu City

• Launch Ramps Maps & Directions

With a 45 mile long lake, boaters have several locations to launch from. In fact, you'll find 12 motorized and six non-motorized launch sites up and down the lake. Crazy Horse Campgrounds, Havasu Springs Resort, Site 6 launch ramp, Lake Havasu Marina, Windsor State Park launch ramps rank high with local boaters for their convenience and location, and the brand new Havasu Riviera launch ramp that just opened 5/22. Crazy Horse, the marina and Site 6 are located on the island, right across from the London Bridge while the Havasu Springs Resort is actually located in Parker, approximately 23 miles south of town, but still accessible on Lake Havasu. While Crazy Horse and Site 6 don't offer a gas dock, Havasu Springs Resort as well as Havasu marina do. Havasu Riviera marina will also have fuel docs as well in the near future as they work to complete the marina. Crazy Horse and Havasu Springs charge a fee to use them. However, Site 6 is a public launch facility and does not. Be careful, though. Make a note: The steep Site 6 ramp tends to get very slippery. ;-)

* The new Havasu Riviera launch ramp has not made it to the list yet, as it just opened on 5/25/22 - Havasu Riviera Launch Ramp Fees, Maps & Directions.

Life Jacket Exchange to be Setup Under The London Bridge at the Community Stage

Memorial Day weekend starts in a couple of weeks. But before you and your family spend it out on the lake, you might want to take a look at the condition (and sizes) of your life jackets.
