It’s a perfect spot for boating, kayaking, fishing, or just relaxing by the shore. The marina is convenient and well-maintained, and there are plenty of picnic areas to enjoy a meal with a view. The sunset over the lake is absolutely magical, with the colors reflecting off the water. A must-visit destination for anyone seeking natural beauty and outdoor adventure!
- ★★★★★10 months agoBeautiful lake. Great restaurant. Lovely boat tour and gift shop. Good dock fishing even though we didn't catch anything still had a blast. Bring a boat!
- ★★★★★12 months agoA beautiful and tranquil area that is great for families or individuals. Lots of biking and walking trails in the area and a nice route to drive or ride your motorcycle. Saw quite a few people fishing at the lake and dropping their boats. A must visit.
- ★★★★★10 months agoGreat place to take a walk on one of the many trails or even do a little fishing, have a picnic, or even put your boat in the water do some boating..
- ★★★★★11 months agoMy tips when visiting saguaro lake: - Arrive early if you're planning to rent a boat or kayak, especially on weekends. The marina can get crowded and boats are in high demand. - Bring plenty of water! Arizona heat can be brutal, even in the fall and spring. Make sure to stay hydrated, especially if you’re hiking or spending time on the water. - If you’re visiting for the first time, be sure to take a boat tour to get a unique perspective of the area. - Watch out for wildlife . You might spot herons, eagles, and even bighorn sheep along the trails, so keep an eye out! Plan your visit during the off-season (fall or spring) to avoid the summer heat and the crowds.
