The park offers a campground, beach, picnic area with ramadas, tables and grills, a creek trail, boat ramps, and a marina.The nearby Lakeside Market offers boat rentals and supplies. The campground overlooks the lake where anglers catch crappie, bass, bluegill, catfish, and trout. The park is popular for water skiing, fishing, camping, picnicking, and hiking. And the tracks of the New Mexico/Arizona railroad lie beneath the lake and remnants of the old historic line may be found at the Nature Conservancy in Patagonia. Hikers can stroll along the creek trail and see birds such as the canyon towhee, Inca dove, vermilion flycatcher, black vulture, and several species of hummingbirds. Picnic Areas/SheltersNumerous picnic tables and ramadas are located at the beach and day use areas.RV & Tent CampingLakeside Camping at PatagoniaCampsite reservations are available online or by calling our camping specialists at the Arizona State Parks Reservations Desk at (877) MY-PARKS.

Rainbow trout are stocked seasonally from November through March and offer southern Arizona anglers a chance to experience fishing for these beautiful, delicious fish in a unique southern Arizona environment. Fishing opportunities abound from both shore and boat, and anglers typically do fairly well in their pursuit of whichever species they are targeting. We have outlined some tips below to help you maximize your time on the lake and to reduce the learning curve while fishing at Patagonia Lake State Park.SwimmingPatagonia Lake allows swimming in any part of the lake except the boat launch areas. The lake is considered to be wild water and swimmers swim at their own risk. There is a roped off swim area at Boulder Beach, but there is no lifeguard on duty. Swimming is at your own risk.Southern Arizona's Watchable WildlifeAn abundance of native Southern Arizona wildlife can be seen in the park. Bobcat, coatimundi, coues whitetail deer, javelina, coyote and a large variety of birds, reptiles and other mammals are available for the pleasure of park visitors. A hike through any of the park trails will lead visitors into prime southern Arizona habitat. Hike slowly and pay attention to the sights and sounds around you, a surprise encounter with one of the park residents could be in your immediate future at any time. Please keep in mind that all animals encountered here are wild. They require space to feel comfortable, so we ask that visitors refrain from getting to close, or from feeding them. Above all, please enjoy these native Arizona treasures during your time at Patagonia Lake State Park.TrailsHiking TrailsPatagonia Lake offers a .5-mile hiking trail that leads to Sonoita Creek and is a very popular birding area.

The park offers a campground, beach, picnic area with ramadas, tables and grills, a creek trail, boat ramps, and a marina.The nearby Lakeside Market offers boat rentals and supplies. The campground overlooks the lake where anglers catch crappie, bass, bluegill, catfish, and trout. The park is popular for water skiing, fishing, camping, picnicking, and hiking. And the tracks of the New Mexico/Arizona railroad lie beneath the lake and remnants of the old historic line may be found at the Nature Conservancy in Patagonia. Hikers can stroll along the creek trail and see birds such as the canyon towhee, Inca dove, vermilion flycatcher, black vulture, and several species of hummingbirds. Picnic Areas/SheltersNumerous picnic tables and ramadas are located at the beach and day use areas.RV & Tent CampingLakeside Camping at PatagoniaCampsite reservations are available online or by calling our camping specialists at the Arizona State Parks Reservations Desk at (877) MY-PARKS.

Please note: Personal Water Craft (PWCs), jet-skis, waterbikes, above-water exhausts boats, and V-8 jet boats are all prohibited.The lake is divided into two sections: the east end is no wake speed only and the west end is for unlimited speed in a counter clockwise direction. High-speed boats can enter the east section but must travel at a no wake speed.Water-Skiing is allowed on weekdays and weekends from October 1st through April 30th. From May 1st until October 1st, water-skiing is allowed on weekdays, but not on weekends or legal holidays due to congestion.Boat Rentals are located in the boat trailer parking lot.

Anglers can also use the boats to troll for fish, or to access some of the better fishing areas of Patagonia Lake.Enjoy Great Fishing at Patagonia LakeThis 265-acre southern Arizona lake holds healthy populations of largemouth bass, channel and flathead catfish, crappie, and sunfish. Rainbow trout are stocked seasonally from November through March and offer southern Arizona anglers a chance to experience fishing for these beautiful, delicious fish in a unique southern Arizona environment. Fishing opportunities abound from both shore and boat, and anglers typically do fairly well in their pursuit of whichever species they are targeting. We have outlined some tips below to help you maximize your time on the lake and to reduce the learning curve while fishing at Patagonia Lake State Park.SwimmingPatagonia Lake allows swimming in any part of the lake except the boat launch areas. The lake is considered to be wild water and swimmers swim at their own risk. There is a roped off swim area at Boulder Beach, but there is no lifeguard on duty. Swimming is at your own risk.Southern Arizona's Watchable WildlifeAn abundance of native Southern Arizona wildlife can be seen in the park. Bobcat, coatimundi, coues whitetail deer, javelina, coyote and a large variety of birds, reptiles and other mammals are available for the pleasure of park visitors. A hike through any of the park trails will lead visitors into prime southern Arizona habitat. Hike slowly and pay attention to the sights and sounds around you, a surprise encounter with one of the park residents could be in your immediate future at any time. Please keep in mind that all animals encountered here are wild. They require space to feel comfortable, so we ask that visitors refrain from getting to close, or from feeding them. Above all, please enjoy these native Arizona treasures during your time at Patagonia Lake State Park.TrailsHiking TrailsPatagonia Lake offers a .5-mile hiking trail that leads to Sonoita Creek and is a very popular birding area.

The park offers a campground, beach, picnic area with ramadas, tables and grills, a creek trail, boat ramps, and a marina.The nearby Lakeside Market offers boat rentals and supplies. The campground overlooks the lake where anglers catch crappie, bass, bluegill, catfish, and trout. The park is popular for water skiing, fishing, camping, picnicking, and hiking. And the tracks of the New Mexico/Arizona railroad lie beneath the lake and remnants of the old historic line may be found at the Nature Conservancy in Patagonia. Hikers can stroll along the creek trail and see birds such as the canyon towhee, Inca dove, vermilion flycatcher, black vulture, and several species of hummingbirds. Picnic Areas/SheltersNumerous picnic tables and ramadas are located at the beach and day use areas.RV & Tent CampingLakeside Camping at PatagoniaCampsite reservations are available online or by calling our camping specialists at the Arizona State Parks Reservations Desk at (877) MY-PARKS.

We have outlined some tips below to help you maximize your time on the lake and to reduce the learning curve while fishing at Patagonia Lake State Park.SwimmingPatagonia Lake allows swimming in any part of the lake except the boat launch areas. The lake is considered to be wild water and swimmers swim at their own risk. There is a roped off swim area at Boulder Beach, but there is no lifeguard on duty. Swimming is at your own risk.Southern Arizona's Watchable WildlifeAn abundance of native Southern Arizona wildlife can be seen in the park. Bobcat, coatimundi, coues whitetail deer, javelina, coyote and a large variety of birds, reptiles and other mammals are available for the pleasure of park visitors.
