Lynx Lake - South Shore Boat Ramp

A popular lake-side picnic and fishing area, South Shore has ample parking for cars and vehicles towing trailers or boats on all but the busiest days of the year when it fills up. Hours of operation vary seasonally but run roughly from dawn to dusk.

Lynx Lake is periodically stocked with trout by the Arizona Game and Fish Department.  A valid fishing or combination license is required for resident and non-resident anglers 10 years of age or older fishing any publicly accessible water in Arizona.
