You can fish here for bass, trout, catfish, and sunfish. There's a cool little waterfall type effect over the dam.

Also some people had memories of their family posted on some benches which was nice. All in all it's a nice little place that's hidden behind some small streets. Thank you.

I love this park...I go jogging on it every other day…read more.. But the reason it only gets 3 stars from me is because some people, at the park with their dogs, don't hang on to the leashes & let their dogs run. I was somewhat attacked by a guys dog, last week, when he was sitting on one of the park benches & didn't hang on to his dogs leash. I didn't know what to do! The damn dog jumped on me for a whole minute before the stupid man finally came after his dog... There's a reason why they have a fenced in dog area, so he can let go of the leash & let his dog run around. I just don't understand why some folks don't use the facilities, offered by the park, so others can be safe??? WTF?! I still go to the park, but I'm really leery of those with loose dogs that are not in the dog park fenced in area....

This is a fun lake to explore because there is so much to do here. We came over here to Watson Lake…read morebecause Lynx Lake had to be drained and we couldn't kayak over there. Watson Lake is great for boating, hiking, fishing and day picnicking. Rock climbers like to climb on the large rugged granite rock formations known as Granite Dells. These rock formations make this lake very picturesque. I used to see pictures of Watson Lake all over social media before coming here. Watson Lake is located a few miles from Downtown Prescott. It is a reservoir that was formed in the early 1900s when a dam was built on Granite Creek. There are two boat launches for canoeing and kayaking. The Prescott Peavine Trail is the area's most popular trail if you want to hike around the lake. You cannot swim in Watson Lake because water quality and algae concerns. Before coming here, just know that there is a small daily fee to park your vehicle at Watson Lake. We enjoyed kayaking here. There were a lot of areas to explore at this lake. The rock formations are fun to kayak around and make for pretty photographs. If you are into bird watching, this is a great place to go because the Watson Woods Riparian Preserve is nearby.

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.

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 !

This wide and flat trail offers beautiful scenery of Watson Woods riparian area, Watson Lake and…read morethe Dells. It makes for an easy hike, bike ride, or on rare occasions even a cross country ski, which we just completed after a late February storm. If you chose to ski it, get out early in the day - like 8 am as the trail is fully exposed and even if the temp is below freezing the sun will melt your tracks. Ski wax is also highly recommended. The parking lot is near the refuse transfer station and requires a $3 fee paid by credit card at the kiosk, or is free on Wednesdays. The first tenth of a mile northbound skirts by the refuse station so can be noisy and dusty in the summer, but after that the riparian area, lake and boulders provide great opportunities for photography or just relaxing on one of the many benches. You can also head south along the river bed area of the preserve or cross the preserve to the west and north to Watson Lake. There are several trail map signs posted throughout to help guide you on your trek. This is a popular trail so can get busy, but you can still loose yourself along the river area or further north if you take off on side trails.

The parking lot holds 4-5 cars and has two shaded Ramadas with picnic tables. The asphalt paved trail is best walked clockwise by heading east from the parking lot. For the first 15 minutes you walk by houses on a shrub oak lined path, then the trail opens up as you head southward and slightly uphill. There are nice views east towards Dewey and as you turn to head west, views of the mountains to the south are also very good. After a short, steep uphill, the trail heads due west. You can turn around at the high point or make it a loop by continuing west and crossing over to Old Black Canyon Highway (dirt road), then walking on the sidewalk along Lucky Draw Dr to the parking lot.
