UTV Offroad Adventures Presents Havasu Havoc

Shimmering Lake Havasu, the center point of Lake Havasu City, was formed in 1938 after the Parker Dam was built. It is perhaps most famous for the London Bridge that looms above it. Yes, the actual London Bridge, bought by the area's founding father, Robert McCullough, for $2,460,000, after the city of London put it up for auction in 1968.

The areas in and around Lake Havasu City are home to many off-road trails with varying terrain, including sand dunes, canyons, and open desert. Several of these trails bring you to amazing points of interest such as old mines and abandoned mining towns, breathtaking views, wildlife, and more.

UTV Offroad Adventures presents Havasu Havoc UTV Fest. You won’t want to miss this weekend filled with adventure! This three-day event will take you on some of the most scenic trails the Lake Havasu area has to offer in a safe and organized manner. We provide guided trails, meals, quick draw poker, corn hole tournament, raffles, and lots of fun, laughs and good times. Our event is for all age groups and all UTV enthusiasts. Come and see what we are all about and meet new and old friends. We offer weekend packages to include a guided night ride on Friday and two rides to choose from for Saturday and Sunday. Proceeds from raffles and quick draw poker support local charities.

Our guided trail rides will bring you to the most iconic off-road spots of Lake Havasu like Rovey’s Needle. You won’t want to miss this! Rovey’s Needle is a geological wonder about 15 miles south of Lake Havasu City, AZ. It's sometimes called Holey Rock or Honeycomb Rock because of the hole in the middle and its honeycomb texture. It stands tall over the desert floor, surrounded by desert washes and hills.

Another iconic spot is the McGuffie Cabin! Get ready for a fascinating glimpse into our history as our guided trail rides will take you back in time. The story of the McGuffie cabin may surprise you. Venice McGuffie was born in Nebraska in 1890. She moved to Arizona sometime around 1930. In the late 1930s, she bought the mine near today's cabin. Venice worked her mine, which produced gold, silver, copper, and lead. Although Venice was married four times, she worked the mines herself. In 1945 she built the cabin at the cost of $1,000. She also built the dam near the cabin. For a while, she owned and operated the Congress Cafe, now Nichols West, in the tiny town of Congress near Wickenburg. Besides being a good miner, she was apparently a pretty good cook. In October 1983, Venice died in Wickenburg at the age of 93. 

In addition to the above-mentioned points of interest, get ready for many other great stops along the trails. The weekend will be spectacular!
