| partners | | Here's a little hike you can do along the undeveloped shoreline of Lake Havasu. This is on the Arizona side, starting at Cattail Cove State Park, at the southern end of the lake. The hike we did took us to one of many BLM boat-in campgrounds, which cost $10 to camp. There are views all along the trail overlooking the lake and the beautiful mountains across the lake. This hike is best done in winter for the peace and quiet. If you want to swim, you'd go in summer but that is motorhead season, so beware. It's a zoo in summer.
You can also backpack to these campsites, which are found all along the shore of Lake Havasu south of town, all the way to the dam area and close to Bill Williams River area. I'm in the process of finding out which of these boat-in campsites are also reachable on foot. I have found that several of them have actual trails leading to them. Backpacking is allowed. I personally wouldn't probably pay to camp in one of the campsites if I were backpacking because it wouldn't be necessary, but in a kayak I would definitely use them.
The water in the lake is crystal clear, very suitable for using a filter or even tablets. I'd think a filter would be preferable, though. |
