YOUR LAKE HAVASU ASSIGNMENT STARTS HERE! Looking for a travel assignment where lake days, boating, beaches, desert hiking, Route 66 adventures, and Las Vegas weekends are all within reach? A leading acute-care hospital in Lake Havasu City, AZ, is located at the heart of one of Arizona's most unique desert-water destinations. The 152-bed hospital sits only about a mile from the city's famous waterfront district.
London Bridge - roughly 1-2 miles / ~5 min. Yes - it's the actual historic London Bridge, relocated from England and reconstructed over Lake Havasu's Bridgewater Channel. Walk across the bridge, explore the waterfront, grab dinner nearby, or simply enjoy the boats cruising underneath.
Rotary Community Park & Playgrounds - roughly 2-3 miles / ~5-10 min. Trade your scrubs for the beach at this 40-acre lakefront park on Thompson Bay, with swimming, kayaking, walking paths, volleyball courts, picnic areas, playgrounds, and plenty of space to unwind beside the water.
Lake Havasu State Park - roughly 2-3 miles / ~5-10 min. Spend a day swimming, boating, relaxing on the beach, walking nature trails, or watching the sun drop behind the mountains. The park offers direct access to Lake Havasu and some of the city's classic desert-meets-blue-water scenery.
Sara Park - roughly 8 miles / ~15 min. Explore approximately 1,100 acres of desert recreation with mountain views, hiking and biking trails, sports facilities, and access toward the lake. Adventurous hikers can tackle the famous narrow-canyon SARA's Crack route during cooler weather.
BUT HERE'S THE REAL SELLING POINT: Oatman, AZ - ~55 miles / ~1 hr 20 min. Follow Historic Route 66 into an Old West mining town where wild burros roam the streets among historic storefronts and rugged Black Mountain scenery. Kingman, AZ - ~60 miles / ~1 hr 5 min. Explore one of Arizona's classic Route 66 stops, with Mother Road history, museums, historic downtown sights, and another gateway into the high desert. Laughlin, NV - ~72 miles / ~1 hr 25 min. Cross into Nevada for Colorado River views, resorts, restaurants, concerts, entertainment, and another waterfront destination - all close enough for a day trip. Las Vegas, NV - ~153 miles / ~2 hr 30 min. Turn a couple of days off into a Vegas getaway packed with shows, world-famous restaurants, shopping, nightlife, concerts, and attractions along the Strip. Joshua Tree National Park, CA - ~160 miles / ~2 hr 50 min. Cross into California for surreal rock formations, desert hiking, stargazing, and the unmistakable Joshua tree landscape - giving this assignment easy access to Arizona, Nevada, and California adventures.
Finish your shift and Lake Havasu is yours to explore! Walk across the historic London Bridge, spend the afternoon swimming or kayaking at Rotary Park, hit the trails at SARA Park, or trade the desert heat for a day on the lake. When your days off arrive, Historic Route 66 in Oatman and Kingman, Laughlin, Las Vegas, and even Joshua Tree National Park are all within road-trip distance. A leading acute-care hospital puts your next travel assignment right where Arizona desert adventure meets life on the water!
