其它關於 Saguaro Lake 的參考資料.

The most popular lake of the Salt River Project is Saguaro Lake. Held back by the Stewart Mountain Dam, Saguaro is a scenic body of water with towering red and yellow cliff walls, and the closest to Phoenix at 41 miles. The lake is 10 miles in length with 22.2 miles of shoreline.

Saguaro del Norte Recreation site is near the dam and includes the Saguaro Lake Marina (which includes a restaurant and boat concession), a Maricopa County Sheriff's aid station, picnic tables, restrooms and boat ramps. There is a public beach, picnic and restroom facilities at Butcher Jones Beach, which can be reached by a road a few miles north of Saguaro del Norte, and three public docks for fishing. The area is open daily from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. from April through September. Bagley Flat Campground (30 spaces) is about four miles from the dam but is accessible only by boat. It is open all year (no fees). To get there, travel up a narrow cliff-bordered portion of the lake. The campground is in a scenic and peaceful area and has sanitation facilities.

The Arizona Game and Fish Department stocks all of the SRP lakes with fish. There generally are good supplies of walleye, largemouth and yellow bass, rainbow and brown trout, bluegills, channel catfish, and crappie in Saguaro.

The Saguaro Del Norte Recreation Area, located on the west upper end of the lake near the dam, includes the Saguaro Lake Marina. The marina features boat storage, boat rental, boat slips, launch ramps, picnic talbes, fuel services, sewage tank dump, bait and tackle, and an exceptional restaurant that features great views of the lake. The recreation area is open all daily all year from 6AM to 8PM.

The lake hides coves and caves all along its shoreline providing opportunities for exploration and privacy even on busy weekends. Those guests who prefer to find their fun on dry land can explore the numerous trails that criss-cross the area and occasionally catch a glimpse of a soaring eagle, grazing mule deer or Big Horn sheep.

A leisurely tour aboard the Desert Belle is also an excellent way to catch an evening sunset. About 5 miles south of the marina on Bush Highway is the rustic Saguaro Lake Ranch Resort. For those who prefer a bed to a sleeping bag, this is the right place to spend the night after a long day on the lake. The Ranch, built in the 1930's, offers activities such as horseback riding during winter, fall, and spring, and kayaking and tubing during the summer months.

Angler's flock to the lake to catch their share of Brown and Rainbow Trout, Yellow and Largemouth Bass, Channel Catfish, Walleye, Crappie, and Bluegill.
