Review:

For a day of nature observation and outdoor recreation you can add the Patagonia Lake State Park to your list of day trips from Tucson. This little-known gem of a park is located just 90 minutes from the city and is an ideal destination for all ages. You can do as much or a little as you like – simply admire nature and watch out for whitetail deer or great blue herons to cross your path, or get active on the lake. The park offers a beach, a marina, a boat launch (you can rent a boat at the Lakeside Market) and a picnic area with tables and grills. Other activities include fishing, water skiing and hiking.

Patagonia Lake State Park, 400 Patagonia Lake Rd, Patagonia, AZ 85624, Phone: 520-287-6965
