Surrounded by canyon walls in the heart of the Sonoran Desert, Saguaro Lake is a popular recreational area close to Fountain Hills. The name of the lake is derived from the many Saguaro cacti which are found around the lake perimeter. The lake is a very popular fishing destination and reaches capacity quite early in the day during the prime fishing season from October to December and February to April. Those who are not interested in fishing can enjoy a scenic narrated cruise on the Desert Belle, try their hand at skiing, canoeing and kayaking or enjoy a panoramic meal at the ShipRock Restaurant.
Saguaro Lake, 14011 N. Bush Hwy, Mesa, AZ 85215, 480-986-5546
