PAYSON, ARIZONA Well, what can I say about this place. For beginners, I took the dirt road. The dirt road turned into a rouged road with alot of holes and bumps. I went thru a ditch if water 2 feet deep and don't ask me how I went thru that. I got lost for nearly more than five hours trying to find the exit. The Dept of Tourism should have warned or ask me how am I travelling by. I don't recommend anyone for that matter to travel up there with a car. You literally need a 4x4. But you will love the amazing scenery I caught

About Horseshoe Lake
Get ready for an adventure-filled trip to Horseshoe Lake in Payson, Arizona. Nestled amid the rugged beauty of the Tonto National Forest, this small, yet captivating lake offers a genuine escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The drive to the lake is not for the faint of heart—it's best suited for those with a 4x4 vehicle due to the challenging dirt roads and occasional water-filled ditches. However, the journey is part of the charm and culminates in the serene beauty of the lake itself. Visitors are greeted with spectacular scenery and the chance to relax in relative solitude, as the area is often uncrowded. While the picturesque setting doesn't have an onslaught of amenities, its natural beauty makes up for it, with opportunities to engage in activities like camping by the water and perhaps some fishing or kayaking on its tranquil surface. Remember to prepare well and bring everything you might need, as this remote location is all about connecting with nature.
