About Copper Canyon
Copper Canyon is a narrow cove on the Arizona side of Lake Havasu, with steep rock walls on both sides. It's known for its party scene on spring and summer weekends, when boats tie up side by side across the cove. On weekdays it's much quieter. There's no road in, so you need a boat, a jet ski or a charter.
- Weekends from March to May are the busiest, especially around spring break and holidays.
- Cliff jumping is common here and people get hurt every year. Check the water depth and never jump where you can't see the bottom.
- Bring shade, water and a good anchor. There are no services in the cove.
Before you book
- Spring weekends, Memorial Day, the Fourth of July and Labor Day are the busiest times on the river. Book rentals a week or more ahead for those dates.
- Summer afternoons are often well over 100°F. Bring more water than you think you need, and go early or late in the day.
- Prices change by date and boat. The Book button shows the real price for your date.
- Most boat rentals need a driver who is at least 21, and most jet ski rentals need a driver who is at least 18. Check each listing.
