In Prescott we also have Lynks Lake, beautiful lake. and Willow Lake and Fann Lake. Next to Goldwater Lake the City will soon open the lower lake next to Goldwater lake. That will make six lakes in or next to Prescott......Good videos, Thanks!
@@pearlbubbles6885 As far as I know, and I live here,no swimming and no motor boats in all the lakes. We get our drinking water from Willow Lake that is pumped from Watson Lake. The new lake next to Goldwater will have swimming when the City opens it up, unless that changes too.
My favorite lake in AZ is Big Lake, not on the reservation. Great fishing, great camping and the Elk are plentiful. I love Woods Canyon but it it very busy. TFS 👍
Can you do a video on marinas of Arizona and the availability of full time (year-round) live-aboard boat life? Compare and contrast the culture as well? Ie., snowbird/retirees, spring break visitors’ impact, amenities and resources in neighboring cities, etc.?
Great video. I live in Sedona and camping, fishing and boating is my thing. I'm a regular at most of these lakes but you mentioned a couple I need to go check out. You should also include Alamo and Apache Lakes.
I've only heard about Horseshoe and probably the most unknown lake in the state. Back in the 80's some older friends I knew use to talk about going to Horseshoe. I have been to Bartlett many, many times and bass fishing is pretty good there, not many monsters but it's very close to Scottsdale and you can catch some good numbers and have fun. Now local show host Johnny Johnson he's caught some big ones out there he has displayed on his show.
Thank you for correctly pronouncing Mogollon! Some years ago, Bartlett lake was so great for waterskiing! Dirt road back then, totally undeveloped, so not many ventured there. One time near a cliff, I saw a gorgeous gila lizard, and realized I skiied through a den? of snakes...not sure to this day what they were! We had a relative in fm NY and took him there on a turbulent day! The storm came up suddenly and swamped our old Spico flat bottom pdq! It was a bit tense, and a hemi does you no good at that point!!! I lost a sandal sinking in mud Pleasant. Had great fishing in Hawley. Many brooks! Nice campsite there, with the pups. My girl pulled raspberries while we also plucked them! Loved the White mtns & do miss the high country of AZ, but not much else.
My favorite is Roosevelt because there are Large and Smallmouth Bass and lots of different areas and techniques you can use. Canyon is nice if you like to use swimsuits. I know a guy who has caught over 50 largemouth at Canyon on Swims. He actually had the state record bass has it all weighed at a certified scale nearby and made one huge mistake. You can never take a fish from one lake or out of the lake and take elsewhere and put back in the lake. His certification for the state-record turned into a citation. Apache Lake down the street from Canyon is more remote, but great. Saguaro is the smallest and closet to town and in summer you'll see a lot of skiers and related and would only fish at night which is great. Saguaro has produced nice bass over 10 over the last many years, as Bertran.
Thank you for featuring the lakes. Very interesting. Would have liked to hear about the depth of each lake; if fishing was allowed; what type of fish; the wildlife in the area (are there any bears, wolves, coyotes in Arizona; are any Park Rangers on duty and do they provide any lectures or your guides; what are cost of camping; and do you recommend any vehicle to travel to all lakes. The mini history on Teddy Rosevelt was interesting. Could you add more tidbits about the other lakes
Well you missed Parker lake that's just south of a do believe in sonoita Arizona and also Arivaca lake seven miles south of arivaca AZ. BUT WHAT I LEARNED IS THERE'S A BUNCH OF LAKES I NEVER EVEN HEARD OF ANYWAY ANOTHER COOL VIDEO BRO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
Roosevelt for numbers and size. Canyon and Saguaro if you want to try for a state record. Pleasant has largemouth and striped bass but is often known as unpleasant due to it’s difficulty. Bartlett is known as a numbers lake with size being tough to come by but they’re in there.
I would like to know the history behind these lakes. Lake Lanier here in Georgia is a flooded city and is said to be haunted. With all of the deaths surrounding it…I believe it that it truly may be haunted
Least none of these are drying up like the big lakes on the Colorado. Although the way the drought situation is i would expect Lake Havasu to follow close behind.
Can you do a video just on swimming lakes and "beaches"? What is closed due to water levels, safest places to take kiddos, accessibility (some lakes are down a 20 mile really rocky dirt road). What lakes allow motor craft, or only kayaking....
You forgot to mention Apache lake which is the first lake beyond Roosevelt lake. Then Canyon and Saguaro lake. Tempe lake is a manmade lake that they control with a inflatable dam.
My favorite lake besides lake Powell is Apache. We live closest to Canyon and Saguaro. Anyone interested I have vlogs on some of the lakes and lots of places in AZ and I do art. 😃
New to AZ. Never would have imagined there are so many lakes here.
I know right, lol :-)
It's not all desert
I've been here since 1970 and I can't believe there's that many lakes in Arizona that's a trip.
Lake Powell, you gotta go
❤ Amaizing I love Az ☺️
Man, I miss AZ and the lakes... Thanks for sharing all this good info.
Excellent. We should have moved to az than nm, for a lot of reasons - lakes being one.
In Prescott we also have Lynks Lake, beautiful lake. and Willow Lake and Fann Lake. Next to Goldwater Lake the City will soon open the lower lake next to Goldwater lake. That will make six lakes in or next to Prescott......Good videos, Thanks!
You forgot Watson Lake.
Can you swim in all 6 lakes?
@@dustylacey4842.... He did Watson lake

@@streetwise10-73 I read it and I didn't see Watson on there.

I"m glad you didn't mention Potato lake on the rim. Wouldn't want it to get over populated.

I like Big Lake near Greer, at 9000 feet. Best trout fishing lake! Also, he forgotten to mention Alamo Lake near Wickenburg.
Big Lake is a secret, don't tell anyone.
The best video I have seen about travel destinations, no bs fast overview, thanks.
@noni time for AZ lake house !!! Let's go...home.
You have to drive past Horseshoe to get to Bartlett.
Bartlett is about 3mi. past Horseshoe, and Horseshoe is dry 90% of the time.
I've only heard about Horseshoe and probably the most unknown lake in the state. Back in the 80's some older friends I knew use to talk about going to Horseshoe.

I'm newer to the TH-cam world, real estate not so much. This video was a win-win for me, thank you for posting.
Thank you for this video of our lakes! Happy Spring! Now that it is hot here in the valley I looking for our next stop😊

The video I’ve been waiting for! Thanks
I thought Lake Powell might be on here, but maybe because that's within two states and super far north. :D Great shots of all these lakes!
A lot of people have never heard of it but those who have been there would put reservation lake in the top 5.
I like the way you put together your videos
I have always been a big fan of Mittry Lake in Yuma County, by the Yuma Proving Grounds myself
Good video
Thanks!

excellent video. great music
My favorite lake in Arizona is fools Lakehollow in show low
Do you mean Fool Hollow Lake in Show Low ? I live there and I've never seen or heard of Lakehollow.
@@jimc4931 yes
What about Alamo Lake & the biggest lake in AZ (when it is full)…San Carlos Lake?
Nice video!! Thank you for sharing.
Does anyone recommend any of these lakes for fishing? Especially bass fishing. They were all beautiful but it seems mostly recreational boaters.
Patagonia lake has bass tournaments
Roosevelt for numbers and size. Canyon and Saguaro if you want to try for a state record. Pleasant has largemouth and striped bass but is often known as unpleasant due to it’s difficulty. Bartlett is known as a numbers lake with size being tough to come by but they’re in there.
Good you didn't mention my favorite lake. Wouldn't matter, one has to really work to get to it.
Great info !
Knoll?
Shhhh
@@oscarchip01 nope.
Amazing video
how do u film such great views? forest is listening to everything you say. never heard that b 4. Great videos.

Hi what lakes are best for fishing in Arizona?
Thanks so much.
Great footage thank you sir ! Toby from CA
Phx AZ
WE LOVE THE VALLEY OF THE SUN!
Nice!
can you do a video on what's the best part of Arizona for hunters?
Least none of these are drying up like the big lakes on the Colorado. Although the way the drought situation is i would expect Lake Havasu to follow close behind.
Need a pipeline from the great lakes
Lake Havasu supplies water to Phoenix and socal. They keep it fairly level
Enjoyed the video. Please do same type of video for fishermen
There’s also horseshoe lake and hawley Lake
💛THANK YOU.
Love tour videos
your
I’m the 1,000 like 👍😄
Would anyone recommend any of these lakes for sailing??If so which ones if any?
Good list, but needs Alamo Lake 👍
Did you take all this drone footage Jeff? You should do some camera / drone reviews on urbanJ you'd have some good insights 👍
wow 🤩
Horseshoe Lake is Much closer to Phx. than Bartlett!
C'mon man! lol!
How is that? Are you Trolling me or serious 😂
Wow, they still got water, California almost got non any more !
Of the lakes with water sports are kayak available for rent?
No Lake Powell or Lake Mead?
Call Luke’s I’ve been to all of them very nice to kayak some of them
What are the largest fish in Arizona??
Wondering how someone mentions canyon lake without talking about Tortilla Flats.
Can you do a video just on swimming lakes and "beaches"? What is closed due to water levels, safest places to take kiddos, accessibility (some lakes are down a 20 mile really rocky dirt road). What lakes allow motor craft, or only kayaking....
You forgot to mention Apache lake which is the first lake beyond Roosevelt lake. Then Canyon and Saguaro lake. Tempe lake is a manmade lake that they control with a inflatable dam.
I was reading from a comment that only one of all those lakes is a natural lake. It is true ? Were all the others created by man ?
Mormon lake in flagstaff is the only natural lake in az.
Stoneman lake as well
My favorite lake besides lake Powell is Apache. We live closest to Canyon and Saguaro. Anyone interested I have vlogs on some of the lakes and lots of places in AZ and I do art. 😃
I’m interested in your vlogs. How do I find them?
@@chrissyuy thanks you can click on my picture and it will take you there, or look up luv adventures and art. 😃 we love to have you join our family
Can't imagine skipping past Apache Lake to show Canyon. Apache is, by far, a much nicer lake.
I wish the names of the lakes were displayed on the screen.
What’s up Jeff
The road to Horseshoe has been completely closed due to. Storm damage.
SRP wants to build another 4 lakes but environmentalists have tied them in court for 25 years now.
Are you talking about the natural lakes or the man made ones.
Which natural lakes are you referring too? Stoneman lake?
I know of at two man made lakes in the Yuma County area named Martinez Lake and Metri Lake.
Ones that have water in them...
Out of all these lakes, which ones are natural and which ones are man made.
All are man made.
Man made. There are only 2 recognized natural lakes in Arizona, Mormon and Stoneman. Both are quite small.
@@elkhunter8664 I thought Stoneman lake was a dirt cattle tank!
Alamo Lake is a great place to bass fish
The best lake in Arizona is Kari Lake! I hope to see her in the White House very soon.
No Water!!!
Lake pleasant is the best…. Rip the guys died couple of days ago 🪦
They drowned?
