The town captured the world's attention in 1968 when McCulloch bought the London Bridge. Originally built in 1831 by architect John Rennie, the multi-arch bridge resided over the Thames River until 1962, when it began to sink into the river. Dismantled stone by stone, the bridge was brought over from London and reconstructed over a man-made inlet on the Colorado River. Lake Havasu provides a setting for all types of water sports. The London Bridge is the center for boat tours of Lake Havasu and nearby Topock Gorge.
Fishing is excellent, for striped and large mouth bass, bluegill and crappie.
