Lynx Lake

This small lake is nestled in a wooded valley just minutes from Prescott. A walking trail around the entire lake and is a great location to take a walk while admiring the large pine trees. Only self-propelled watercraft such as canoes, kayaks, and stand-up paddleboards are permitted on the lake.

The water at Lynx Lake stays cool throughout summer because of its elevation of 5,600 feet, and it's a great way to beat the heat of a Prescott summer. The spacious campsite just above the lake has excellent level sites nestled beneath towering trees, and the lake is a beautiful place to spend a few days. In the Prescott region, Lynx Lake is a popular birdwatching location thanks to the constant supply of fresh water and lush forest attracts birds from all over.
