If you’ve seen the move Piranha 3D this weekend, you may be wondering if those Piranhas in Lake Havasu were real, and if they actually exist in the lake today. There have been several calls supposedly to the City of Lake Havasu from concerned residents as well as tourist wondering if there really are Piranhas in the lake. To the relief on them all, the answer is no. The creators of the movie used computer graphics to bring the nasty creatures into the lake on the big screen.

The movie which is about spring breakers partying on a lake unknowingly inhabited by the dangerous creatures, which kill many of the party goers, has obviously sent a chill down the Lake Havasu tourism industry’s backs. “We’re gritting our teeth. We’re just hoping that the reaction is a good one for the city,” stated Jeff Blumfled, the Lake Havasu city publicist.

Tourism is a serious business in the town, which brings in over 3.5 million visitors per year, mainly looking to fish for white sturgeon, or relax on the lake with friends and family.
