Saguaro Lake, twenty minutes from Fountain Hills, is one of the loveliest and most popular recreation sites in Tonto National Forest.
One wonderfully relaxing way to enjoy the lake is a narrated tour aboard the Desert Belle Paddlewheel Riverboat. Bald eagles and desert mountain sheep are often spotted in secluded regions.

Riparian Reserve at Water Ranch is a delightful outdoor experience in Gilbert - well worth the drive. It is an oasis in the Sonoran Desert featuring seven aquifer recharge basins – each kept at different water levels to create diverse habitats and attract a variety of wildlife. Approx. 298 species of birds have been identified at the preserve, and many insects, fish, amphibians, reptiles, and mammals have found a home here as well.
Over 4.5 miles of trails weave through the park. The preserve also boasts an urban fishing lake, covered picnic areas, dinosaur dig site, campsites, and the only valley astronomy observatory open to the public.
