Best weekend picnic spot, Watching a tallest fountain is always a treat. A huge pathways for morning and evening walks. Such a clean lake with lots of ducks and tortoises, fun for kids. Fountain starts at each clock hour for each 15 mins. Sunset behind the mountains around is amazing to watch. Lots of trees, greenery and sitting benches around.

Why is fishing not allowed? I understand that the water is reclaimed and I wouldn't eat the fish I caught, I think that is common sense. But if fishing isn't safe for the health of those doing it how safe is it to shoot the reclaimed water 100 feet into the air as families walk and play around the lake side to see the fountain? It seems to me like us anglers are missing a great fishing spot due to the powers that be deciding what is acceptable for our health as the fishermen of AZ but your families health is okay for you to decide on individually without the intervention of government. Just food for thought. 1 star for not allowing me to fish.

One of the best places in Arizona. I went to Fountain hills for a doctor's appointment whose clinic was very close to this lake. After my doctor's appointment I went to this lake for a quick stroll but ended up spending an hour there and admiring how beautiful this fountain lake is. I also went to this lake again with a friend for a picnic the next week. It was fun!
About Fountain Lake
Nestled in the heart of Fountain Hills, Arizona, Fountain Lake is a picturesque urban oasis that offers a calming retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Renowned for its eponymous fountain, one of the tallest in the world, the lake serves as a perfect setting for leisurely walks, family picnics, and nature observation. The fountain is a spectacle, shooting streams of reclaimed water 100 feet into the air every hour, delighting visitors with its graceful arcs set against the stunning backdrop of the Arizona hills. Surrounded by verdant greenery and scattered with benches for comfortable viewing, the area is a verdant escape boasting a walking path that both morning and evening strollers adore. The lake abounds with wildlife; ducks meander across its clear surface, and kids delight in spotting tortoises sunning on the banks. The islands within the lake, dotted with saguaros and vibrant vegetation, are a birdwatcher's paradise, mirroring Arizona's unique desert charm. While fishing is not permitted due to the lake's reclaimed water status, the site continues to draw crowds for the scenic beauty and the fountain's iconic spray. Despite this, some visitors express disappointment at the restrictions, reflecting on the potential enjoyment fishing could add to this exquisite locale. However, the allure of stunning sunsets mirrored on the waters and the festive craft shows held nearby make Fountain Lake a cherished community jewel.
