Lake Havasu is situated behind Parker Dam on the Colorado River, just on the border that joins California with Arizona. On the eastern shore of the lake lies Lake Havasu City.
The 45 mi (72.42 km) long lake’s capacity is 648000 ac/2622 km² on a very low desert elevation of 482 ft (146.91 m). The concrete dam that makes a glorious arch was built between 1934 and 1938 by the United States Bureau of Reclamation.
There are two aqueducts that need to be filled with water and that is exactly the lake’s primary purpose. Except from that purpose the lake is also available for fun and especially skydiving.
Feel the adrenaline rush in an experience you never felt before. You will be tight up with the instructor and jump from 13000 ft (3962.4 m)Â above sea level on a 15 minute fly over scenic view.
The wind hits you with 120 mph (193.12 kph) and about 50 seconds after you leave the plane, you have to open your parachute and enjoy a fly over the magnificent vistas. It is an unforgettable experience of a lifetime!! Go ahead and book your flight at a nearby school.
