Is Lake Havasu safe to swim in?

Swimming is allowed along the shoreline, and although the white sand beaches are typically very soft...you may encounter rocky conditions in the water. That's why we recommend comfortable foot cover and a light mat to put under your towel if you plan to swim outside of the designated swimming area.
