About Desert West Lake

Just a stone's throw away from a local police precinct, the lake offers a secure retreat for city dwellers and visitors alike.

This charming lake is a dual-sided gem, renowned for its pristine surroundings and its enchanting allure that draws both nature lovers and anglers.

Its tranquil environment is perfect for unwinding after a long day, whether by casting a line with friends or simply indulging in the serene views that the lake has to offer.
