The Lighthouses of Lake Havasu

In 2000 the Lake Havasu Lighthouse Club was formed.  The club decided to build 1/3 size replicas of famous lighthouses.  Since then 20 have been erected with additional lighthouses in the future.
In addition to serving as a safety function, the lighthouses have proven to be a popular destination for tourists and family.

We recently rented a pontoon for the afternoon to cruise down the Colorado river, I did manage to get photos of some of the lighthouses.
This is the inspirational lighthouse that started it all, its located at the Lake Havasu Marina entrance.
Umpqua River Replica - Oregon
Portland Head Replica, Portland, Maine

White Shoal Light- Northern Lake Michigan

Wind Point Light, Racine Harbor, Wisconsin
Split Rock - North Shore Lake Superior
Vermillion Light, Lake Erie in Vermillion, Ohio
West Quaddy - Lubec, Main
East Quoddy-Campobello Island, New Brunswick, Canada

 And that's the way it is..............................

    Way cool! It is not safe for you to come North yet..too cold..yes the river running is a good sign BUT there is a reported 38 to 42 inches of ice on the lakes. Some of the shallow lakes must be froze out in areas. That will take some time to thaw:)

    When I first saw your title, I thought, what? Lighthouses in Arizona?!! Someone had a fun idea, and I'm glad to see Minnesota's lighthouse is represented.
    P.S. Don't come home yet. It's still winter up here.

    How interesting is that!! I don't see any Florida lighthouses, yet, but hopefully the one from St. Augustine is on the drawing board. Definitely a great tourist attraction!! How exciting to rent a pontoon and ride the Colorado River!!

    What a great collection of lighthouses! I've always been fond of them. I even have some lighthouse dinner plates.
