We actually went out to hike the five mile five Watson Lake Loop. We parked in a parking lot just off the highway near the bird sanctuary area, so we had no fee. We started our hike walking towards the dam and granite dells. We passed through the park where there was, a boat ramp, toilets, kayak rental place, picnic tables, and an old Frisbee golf course. This was an easy part of the trail, From there, we started to head up and over the granite boulders going in a clockwise direction. We wanted to get the harder parts out of the way first. It was a beautiful hike. We are 61 and 67, regular hikers, and found some of the areas a little challenging. There was a bit of scrambling and rock hopping. Be prepared with good hiking shoes and maybe hiking poles. Some areas are quite steep. It is absolutely beautiful. We actually got lost in the beauty and added an extra mile to the hike. It is well marked for the most part, but it is easy to go off trail. The last section around the marsh was flat and easy. We were sure glad we'd picked to do the hard part first. Go prepared and take plenty water. We packed a picnic, to stop and enjoy along the way. It was certainly worth the effort.

Watson Lake in Prescott is a hidden gem. The Granite Dells create an amazing backdrop for kayaking and hiking. The trails offer a mix of easy walks, and more difficult hikes, so it’s perfect for all skill levels. It’s a peaceful spot to picnic, fish, or just look at the views. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!

So beautiful out here. Really love how the rocks and the water and everything is so pretty got to wait for my father-in-law and my brother-in-law to finish a big race. Very cool and very impressed with how beautiful it is.

The campground, trails, and everything else is first rate. The showers in camp run hot and the bathrooms are clean. The water is easily accessible. I highly recommend this camp ground! Great for kids, real porcelain toilets for beginners and a nice playground. Trails are well kept and well marked.

Highly recommend this place! We went for a quick Sunday trip and wish we would have had more time and energy for the full loop hike around the dam. The hike was fun, varied scenery, lots of rocks to climb, well marked and moderate in intensity. Definitely bring water and I’d recommend an early morning or late afternoon trip as it can get hot! There were kayak rentals, a big open field, picnic tables and a playground. The playground wasn’t shaded enough so didn’t appeal to us, though otherwise great place! Entry fee is $3, but worth it!

It's amazing Lake after eazy trail of ten-fifteen minutes from parking area downwards. The lake is surrounded by hard roud corners rocks. Many kinds of water birds and life seen here. Very calm and cool place with pin drop silence,filled with fresh and crisp air. One can enjoy here 2-3 hours easily and make their day memorable for life long....
