    So disappointing to see how neglected tbe park has become. Even the ducks have gone. Trash, driftwood and debris has made the water dirty, green and murky. It is being overgrown with invasive foxtails and other plants. Trash from humans littering is in/on/around the grass area and water as well. Also debris is stopping the water to circulate fresh water around the water filter pump.

    I needed a place to eat my take out lunch and Fain park was close by, it was lovely to sit in one of the covered picnic tables and enjoy the summer monsoon clouds.

    Stopped at this park to walk the dogs before starting a roadtrip that would last 6 hours (we still made stops along the way). The park is small, but offers several trails that are easy to walk for dogs and humans. The hills aren't overly steep and there are benches located in the best "photo spots" to take selfies (if that's your thing). There's a small lake with a pretty waterfall and bridges/platforms that extend over the lake. There were a few ducks wading, but they left after more people started arriving. There were also educational areas. One area for identifying local birds and other wildlife animals. Another area displayed different machines and tools for mining. This was a good park to visit. I'm happy we had a chance to check it out. This place was a hidden gem.

    I definitely recommend this park. It is more than just a park. There is water, streams, waterfalls, trails and old mining equipment. And probably a lot more I didn't see.

    No playground. This park is only good to walk your dogs, or have a picnic. The lake is peaceful, and the mineshaft items are a little interesting. The trails are easy, and there's some shade. Overall it's just an okay park.

    A nice little sign with a map at the entrance.

    Outstanding light show for Christmas. You have to see the magic that the lights bring to this holiday season.

    I wish there were things to do besides fishing, and walking around the lake, like paddle boating, but the lake feeds into a dam with a drop off at one end that would make that a danger.

    Trail is absolutely amazing and beautiful. It has some nice sculptures to pass by along the way and…read morewhen you reach the top it gives a beautiful view of all of Prescott and Prescott valley. It can be exhausting or rough, but there are plenty of benches you can stop at along the way to take a breather. As well as bring plenty of water too. You can also stop by the nearby radio towers too but can't go inside but that's good. Overall I would recommend this spot to get some air and enjoy the scenery. Just make sure to use your GPS so you don't get lost along the way.

    This 4.2 mile out and back trail offers 360 degree views from the top, a rarity for such a short…read moreand easily accessible trail right in town. The parking area is found at the SW intersection of Antelope Ln and N Castle Dr and is quite large. I went on a cold weekday and only saw 5 other hikers but undoubtedly this gets very busy on a weekend judging by the size of the parking lot. There is an installation of contemporary artwork of foraging deer / horses as you start the trail. The trail itself is very wide and a mix of dirt with some rock and climbs at a gradual incline all the way up. At each of the major switchbacks there are nicely maintained picnic tables offering great views of the valleys to the east and north. A handful of interpretive signs offer information about wildlife, geology and history of the hill. There are also GPS and mile markers at regular intervals. As you approach the top a few of the switchbacks are a bit steeper but the view at the top is worth it as you are now able to see the southern and western mountain ranges as well as all the way around to the east and north. A picnic table is also situated the top along with additional historical info. The top can be windy so be prepared, also this is not the best trail to take right after a rain or snow. I went two days after a snow and even though the majority of snow had melted it felt like I had an extra 2 pounds of mud on my boots at times !

Very helpful & ready to tell you any helpful information you need while staying. We left a night early because my daughter rented the amount of days just in case we wanted to stay longer. Yet the 25th(today) is my 54th birthday & I was ready to be home for the week. We came home very rested with plenty of beautiful pics & cool experiences to tell friends & family.

    I have camped in Prescott before, but never at this lake. I had heard great things about Lynx Lake…read moreand have always wanted to check it out. This lake was formed in the 1960s when they dammed Lynx Creek. It is stocked for fishing and has a campground and hiking trails around it. There are lots of animals that are native to this area like mule deer, osprey and bald eagles. I booked a campsite here during the summer because I own a kayak and wanted to get out on the water. After setting up my site, I headed over to Lynx Lake. I was a little disappointed to see the water so low. I guess in late 2024, the lake was partially drained to fix a mechanical failure in the dam's outlet valve. It has to rely entirely on natural rain and snow to be refilled and could take years to get back to normal. So we just did a hike around the lake and headed back to our campsite. Lynx Campground has around 35 campsites with a picnic table, fire ring and a grill at each site. There are no RV hook-ups, but they do have drinking water and toilets. The campsite is about half a mile directly south of Lynx Lake. We enjoyed our campsite and had a fun time. We had to partially share our site with another family because their giant tent spilled onto our site (which was annoying). But we made the most of it. The nice thing is that the Town of Prescott isn't too far away if you need any food or supplies. As for kayaking, we were able to do that over at Watson Lake. You can book a campsite ahead of time on Recreation.gov.
