Reviews of Lake Willow springs lake

This was one of the best hikes I have ever been on, we came here while visiting family and I was blown away at the scenery. There is fishing, boating, and kayaking readily available (as long as you bring the equipment), and some trails that truly show off the beauty of nature. I absolutely loved it here, and will come back some day to hike the trails again. Edit: I came back in '24 and it was just as amazing as before. The beauty of nature seemed almost untouched from over a year ago. Cool water with great outdoor temperature provided a fun day next to the lake with family. I added new photos, attempted to recreate some of the old but you can see the absolute gorgeous views of Arizona shine through. This is one of my top 3 places to go to in all of Arizona, you won't regret coming here.

This is a beautiful area to hike. 8 miles around the lake. A lot of boulders on some parts easier hiking on others. But beautiful scenery wherever you look. Lots of birds and fishing going on. The trail is not well marked. You just follow the lake. But once you are committed it is a long hike. It will take most of the day if you are stopping to gaze at the scenery, taking pictures or snacking on a lunch. Take plenty of water. You will not be disappointed in the views. A day well spent with a friend, by yourself or with a furry companion.

Nice clear lake, we went on a holiday weekend so I think it was likely abnormally busy, lots of people but we found a place to fish at, didn’t catch anything unfortunately and traffic was really terrible on the way back home, stopped and inching forward at times. I’d like to give it another chance when not around a holiday 😊 maybe in the future, it was a very pretty lake.

By far this peaceful beautiful space is my favorite spot for a quick fish trip whether on a boat or on the shoreline. There’s plenty of areas to park and would recommend to arrive around 8 or 9 to get a good spot. Need to try kayaking or paddle boarding here next time around.

This place was busy on the weekend. So I would recommend you get there early. Cool lake with great views and people watching. It's definitely not an easy spot to fish with the number of kids, paddle boards, and kayaks along the shore messing around. The water is clear and seems fairly clean. #opulence check em out.
