You wouldn't think we'd be celebrating National Lighthouse Day here in the desert of Arizona but did you know that Lake Havasu is the only place in the world that can boast of having a replica lighthouse program -- with 28 replica lighthouses on the Lake from the East and West Coasts of the USA and the Great Lakes! In 2000, the Lake Havasu Lighthouse Club was formed when a group of local boaters and artisans wanted to improve the navigational lighting on Lake Havasu. They pooled their talents, raised money and started building and installing working replica lighthouses around the lake. Today, all of the replica lighthouses on the island are from the Great Lakes; those on the California side of Lake Havasu are replicas of West Coast lighthouses and those on the Arizona side of Lake Havasu are replicas of lighthouses from the East Coast. Your Arizona Fun Fact of the Day!
