Lake Havasu-London Bridge and Shoreline Trail
This is not THE London Bridge but it is an actual London bridge, built in 1831, dismantled in 1967, shipped to the US, and reconstructed in Lake Havasu City in 1971. It was part of a real estate scheme to attract home buyers to a out of the way parcel of land. And it worked! Over 50,000 people now live in Havasu City.
The bridge connects the mainland to a little island where there are campgrounds and resorts. Shoreline Trail is located on the mainland. It starts west of the bridge and goes about two miles south to Rotary Park. It’s wide, scenic and pretty smooth.
Parking for RVs is available at the visitor center on London Bridge Road or at Rotary Park. Wheelchair users may want to park at Rotary Park because there’s a steep hill from the visitor center lot down to Shoreline Trail. Trail
