About

Arivaca Lake is a quiet, secluded spot perfect for those looking to escape the city. It is highly valued for its fishing and peaceful atmosphere. However, the road in can be rough, and navigation is tricky, so follow local signs rather than just GPS. It is a primitive site, so pack-in, pack-out is the rule.
