When you arrive at Patagonia Lake State Park, a man-made lake, you won’t believe you are in Arizona.
Hiking trails, rental boats, campground, day use area and picnic ramadas await you in the Park, which also offers beach access and regularly scheduled hiking bird tours and pontoon boat birding tours. Call for the tour schedule, as it changes seasonally.
The Sonoita Creek State Natural Area is a pristine area located adjacent to the Park and offers 5,000 acres of cottonwoods, willows, sycamores and mesquites, nesting black hawks and endangered species.
