Small Home – Big Yard

Good Morning from the shores of Lake Havasu and The Islander Resort. Of the 3 parks located “on the island”, the Islander is our favorite.  Sites are nicely spaced pull throughs, a few with lake views and all with full hookups. Exploring via bike (or e-bike in our case) is easy, with the island loop hike/bike path making a complete loop around the island in 3.5 miles.  This path allows you to cross London Bridge to join the Lake Havasu City trail.  Extending about 4 miles both north and south of the bridge, this paved trail follows highway 95 and provides some challenging hills and great views of the lake.

We also enjoy the many restaurants in Havasu, – this year returning to favorites of the Boathouse Grill (adjacent to the resort) and Pirates Den in Parker.  Our new “find” this year was Cha Bones, a wonderful steakhouse and tapas restaurant in Havasu. The service was great, the meals excellent – we need to return next time for their happy hour of half priced tapas!

On Saturday we enjoyed wandering through the Winterfest market with over 200 craft booths set-up along McCulloch Boulevard.  We’re headed to Nevada next, more from the shores of Lake Mead!
