The charm of Prescott and the beauty of one of the only granite surrounded lakes you'll find in Arizona! The unique granite formations provide a playground for rock climbers, campers and photographers!
Camping sites are only available in the summer months but the park is explorable year round! Watson Lake is a very unique place, in a state primarily made up of sandstone lies a lake surrounded by uniquely shaped Granite Boulders, excellent for hiking, rock climbing and photographing! Be sure to find a good place to sit and watch some of the most vibrant sunsets in the nation!
The park includes:
- Two boat launches
- Canoes and Kayaks available for rent
- Fish Cleaning Stations
- Picnic Areas with grills
- Restrooms
- Playground
- Hiking Trails
- Showers for campers

This lake is amazing. Makes an excellent stopping point on any road trip. The lake is easily accessible, doesn't require a long hike to access. There's pretty few tourists and it's really big! I scrambled around for an hour and a half or so trying to get every sunset photo I could, super fun, great reflections. Comparable to a bigger Sand Harbor in Lake Tahoe. Have fun Boulder hopping!
