What kind of sharks are in the lake havasu?
To date there are no documented accounts of sharks being present in Lake Havasu (2010). However, the possibility of a stray shark travelling that far inland in general does exist.
The Bull Shark in particular is capable of travelling far up rivers and estuaries from the ocean (through use of a process known as osmoregulation). Bull Sharks have been documented as far inland as Indiana and are considered responsible for a significant percentage of attacks on humans worldwide. The Bull Shark's known range includes the Gulf of California where the Colorado River empties into the ocean.
But more to the point, Lake Havasu is a reservoir created by the dam in Parker, AZ. I do not think it would be possible for any marine life to travel upstream past the dam, so there is no chance of this occurrence.
