Lake Havasu is a large reservoir

Arizona. Lake Havasu City sits on the lake's eastern shore. The concrete arch
dam was built by the United States Bureau of Reclamation between 1934 and 1938.
The lake's primary purpose is to store water for pumping into two aqueducts.
Fish species in the lake have included in the past ; Sunfish, Largemouth Bass,
Smallmouth Bass, Striped Bass, Crappie, Sunfish, Catfish (Channel), Catfish (Flathead),

has three more pumping plants, Iron Mountain, 144 feet, Eagle Mountain, 438 feet

Robert Paxton McCulloch (May 11, 1911 – February 25, 1977) was an American entrepreneur most notable for McCulloch Chainsaws and purchasing the old London Bridge and moving it to one of the cities he founded, Lake Havasu City, Arizona. Lake Havasu sparked the imagination of McCulloch, who purchased 3,500 acres (1,400 ha) of lakeside property along Pittsburgh Point, the peninsula that eventually would be transformed into "the island".
Lake Havasu City is a city in Mohave County, Arizona, United States.
Lake Havasu City was established in 1964 by Robert P. McCulloch (of McCulloch Chainsaws) as a planned community. McCulloch had purchased 3,500 acres (14 km²) of property on the east side of Lake Havasu along Pittsburgh Point, the peninsula that eventually would be transformed into "the island". The city was incorporated in 1978. The present city grew around an old mining town established in the early 20th century.
The lake was formed in 1938 by Parker Dam on the Colorado River. One cannot reach the Grand Canyon from Lake Havasu, however, due to the dams: Davis Dam (creating Lake Mohave) and Hoover Dam (creating Lake Mead) and Parker Dam.
A popular tourist attraction in Lake Havasu City is the London Bridge, which crosses an 8ft deep man made canal that leads from Lake Havasu (on the Colorado River) to Thompson Bay. Many boats are out on the water to drive around. It was bought for US$2.5 million from the City of London when the bridge was replaced in 1968.
The only access to Lake Havasu City by road is via Arizona State Route 95, which meets Interstate 40 to the north of the city and Interstate 10 to the south. The city is served by several intersecting loop roads which connect with AZ 95. This somewhat unorthodox road layout has been a source of confusion for many newcomers. Many of the houses in the city are vacation homes.
Mohave county is a county
in Northwest USA. The Colorado River forms most of the county's western boundary,
and California, Nevada and Utah all border it. The river also runs east to west
through Mohave County, dividing it between two of Arizona's geographic regions,
the Arizona Strip in the north and the Mojave Desert in the south.
