Canyon Lake is far amazing for boating and so on. The only issue we have Barletta Boat that we have stored with the covered boat parking with the hydro lifts. The Office people are nice, but multiple times requested to fix our hydro lift and being billed for it not working is getting out of hand. The water etches our tri toons and have to have it cleaned and polished everytime it sits in the stagnate water. Chad the manager acknowledge the issues but never follows up to repair. We will be pulling out boat out end of season and going to another lake.

Canyon Lake has been my favorite spot since I was a kid, always beautiful! The newly renovated marina office/store is great and Jenny is an amazing employee - very helpful!

Stayed overnight the weekend of August 23-24 and had the best time, water was great, the camp site we reserved was nicely kept. It was very stressful at night though, we saw mice and a tarantula near our site. Also, the lights above the sites don’t turn off and we had one right in front of our site so it made it really hard to sleep. Had the best time during the day just maybe won’t stay a night again.

We rented the Aloha 26 Double Decker with Slide for 6 adults and a baby while on vacation. It was such a beautiful way to spend 3 hours. The views were incredible! The boat was well serviced, clean and so much fun! Everyone was going down the water slide, jumping off the roof and just having the best time. 3 hrs was a good duration to go all the way through the canyon and back while stopping many times to swim. Highly recommend and would definitely do it again next time I visit the area.

Absolutely gorgeous. We come out almost every weekend as we purchased a membership to the boat club. Hard to believe this is in the heart of Arizona! Starting in July the water is the perfect temp, a great way to beat the triple digit heat

Canyon Lake is a really great place to go and spend a few hours or a day at on the water. We rented kayak's and spent about two hours paddling around up into the canyon area. Mid-week is the best time to go. No crowds on the water. October is still warm and the water is cool, but not unbearable. Good rental rates for kayak's which includes a life jacket and the paddle. Get there first thing at 8 a.m. to make sure you can get a kayak as they are limited. Excellent customer service!
