We took a 90 minute narrated cruise on the Desert Belle Tour Boat around Saguaro Lake. The lake is 10 miles long with 22 miles of shoreline. The Stewart Mt. dam is located on the South East corner of the lake. There was a tremendous amount of boat traffic on the lake on this particular day so we did not see any interesting wildlife, unless you consider Turkey Vultures interesting. The scenery was beautiful and extremely varied.
We had lunch at the Lakeshore Restaurant that is barely visible in these trees above the boat launch location.
The four peaks can be seen in the distance.
According to our tour guide a variety of animals are visible from the lake when the conditions are right. Mountain lions, mountain goats, bald eagles, rattle snakes, and multiple species of birds are just some of the animals that call this area home.
