Foxes Floating Bar

Everybody should go there at least once. And certain people can certainly try drinking their Road Runner special mix of alcohol. It ain't easy and you should probably have some friends.
The food is good but simple. Lots of fried stuff. Chili was good. Burgers were good.
Daytime is a great time to show up and get something to eat and drink. Nighttime is a good time to get something to drink and perhaps enjoy the nightclub.

Sightseeing
Campers and those traveling around Arizona by RV have spoken very highly about this state park; you simply have to visit Buckskin Mountain, State Park. The Colorado River is the highlight, where you can jet ski or go boating, and there are even floating bars on the water. It is a truly relaxing and fun experience in the outdoors.

This is one of the best views you can get from Lake Havasu. Parker Dam is downstream of the famous Hoover Dam and is situated right on the Arizona/California border. A short drive across the dam offers some of the best scenic views you can get of the majestic Colorado River and the impressive Lake Havasu. This iconic landmark, which was built in the 1930s, is not to be missed.
