Print Friendly MapLake Havasu City boasts a wide variety of recreation activities, from hiking nearby desert trails to water sports on the city's namesake lake and the Colorado River; the Lake Havasu City Island Trail provides a great option for cyclists and joggers looking to get in on the action. Located on a scenic island that stretches into the lake, the paved asphalt trail forms an over-three mile loop that takes you around the entirety of the island's interior, providing access to a number of sports fields and parks within.
The trail is largely flat and smoothly paved, with plenty of views of the lake and the surrounding desert mountains lending beauty to the scenery. Cyclists must travel the trail clockwise, while pedestrians travel counter-clockwise, to help ensure a safe flow of traffic. After traveling the loop, sidewalks along McCulloch Boulevard can take you across the city's London Bridge and connect with the lengthy Lake Havasu City Multi-Use Trail, which travels along the highway across the bulk of the city's western half.
Parking is available at a trailhead located at the intersection of McCulloch Boulevard and Beachcomber Boulevard. Additional parking may be available at the city parks and marinas located along the route of the trail.
The sections that have been completed are nice and smooth. Older sections rough and cracked.
Nice area but way too bumpy for a nice ride. Just needs some TLC
Nice area and could be great if smoothed out, way too bumpy for a nice ride
Rough surface, bumpy due to gaps in asphalt....we ended up riding in the street. Limited view of water.
Location: Lake Havasu City, AZ
Parking: North end of loop at large parking area. Could park at Lake Havasu City Visitor Center and cross over London Bridge if combining with City Multi-Use Trail.
Trail Condition: Asphalt smooth and good. Wide enough but another foot or so would have been better.
Signage: Sufficient amount of route direction and informational. On this trail bikers go clockwise and walkers counterclockwise. Many signs reminding bikes and walkers which way to go.
Comments: This is a nicely done loop trail around the island. Trail users did observe the travel direction based on mode of travel. Did encounter one biker wandering across width of trail, rang bell to alert of passing, at passing they complained of not being warned, noted they were riding with ear buds in, so of course couldn’t hear my bell or me coming. A wider trail would help avoid these sorts of issues. Highly recommend this trail if in area.
