Only forty miles away from Phoenix, Saguaro Lake is a scenic reservoir tucked away in the Tonto National Forest. The lake is approximately 10 miles long and up to 110 feet deep in certain places, and it's surrounded by marshland, towering canyon walls, jagged rocks, and dry desert scrubland. Visitors can bring their own boats or rent one from the on-site marina, but if you're interested in learning about the history and wildlife of the lake, you can take a 90-minute narrated paddleboat tour instead. Other popular activities include fishing, dining at the marina, and hiking the four-mile trail on the shore of the lake.
