Confirmed from Lake Havasu State Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Home of the original London Bridge with lake beaches, campsites, trails & a garden with wildlife.
What runners say about Lake Havasu State Park
“The water was clean and the perfect temperature to swim in, the Park top was clean and the staff was kind and friendly.”
“We were surprised to get the most lovely spot on the beach in May without a reservation with our fifth wheel, it was beautiful!”
“We had shade from a small tree, shade over the patio.”
Very nice state park. Definitely would come back. We stayed in our class c on the cabin loop. Grounds and bathrooms were kept up nicely. The beach and lake were a hit since it was 104. We utilize bikes alot and wish there was an exit on the south end of the park for bikes. Other than that it was great.
Beautiful place right on the lake, boat ramp, campground with water and electricity. Big spots , some backed up to the lake. Good Verizon and T Mobile service. Some walking trails and a beautiful cactus garden. Dog friendly.
Very nice state park. Very large site. Sunset are beautiful. Staff are very nice and welcoming. Nice trail with cactus garden. Near everything by car or bike. Right on Lake Havasu and you see the London Bridge from the campground. Two points to complain.
Great State Park. First time visiting and loved it. We had a rental cabin with an RV spot. The cabin was a dry cabin with heat and AC. The RV site was roomy and plenty of room to walk between the cabin and RV. The site was right on the lake and the sunsets are amazing! We explored the town and area for several days.
