Beautiful lake, almost no cactus in this area. Some pine trees and some tall and green trees, different from the Phoenix area. Kayak and Patel boats are available for rent. On July 17th it was a bit warm for a hike but we anyway hiked for a short time.

Absolutely fantastic especially if you have a boat or watercraft to get out and experience the details. For 3 bucks you get access to a great park and two boat launches. When the water is low use the north access b/c the water weeds are terrible from the south. A truly spectacular and otherworldly aquatic scene.

Had an amazing time this 4th of July! The event was nothing less than spectacular! The food trucks were great, the beer garden was reasonably priced, and our kids had a lot of fun on the water rides.

Watson Lake is so beautiful, interesting and unique! I've never seen anything like it before other than in photos from other photographers. It was a dream of mine to be able to come to this amazing place in person for a photo shoot and also just take time to sit & enjoy it's beauty! It didn't disappoint in anyway!! Even the parks host at the gate was so enjoyable talk with! And the restrooms were really clean. The lawn areas were well groomed and there are plenty of locations around for picnics in the areas I went. I loved the gazebo, and other areas that had benches to sit. This park has a place for everyone to hangout and enjoy the surroundings. But honestly the rock formations around the lake itself were what had me mesmerized!! This place is a must see any time of year...... 🤗

I am the Chaplain for PASS (Prescott Area Shelter Services). I would like to know if I would be allowed to perform Christian baptisms in Watson Lake from time to time? Thank You!

There is no swimming, so I think they might say no. As a Christian myself I wish you well in your endeavors. Check with Watson Lake Park. They might be able to direct you on this.
