Lake Havasu City

An Outdoor Enthusiast’s Delight

A quick glance at a map reveals how Prescott earned its reputation as a

nature lover’s paradise. Nestled against the sprawling Prescott National Forest

to the west and south, surrounded by the beauty of Tonto and Coconino

National Forests to the east and boasting easy access to photogenic Watson

Lake, this town is an Arizonan treasure.

Juniper, Chaparral, as well as Ponderosa and Pinyon Pines grace the

mountains and rambling meadows of the region, which enjoys temperate

weather the whole year, yet still manages to have four distinct seasons. The

bordering parks offer innumerable opportunities for hiking and trailblazing,

all just a short distance from the charm of downtown.

Nearby Watson Lake is a favorite getaway for residents, though there’s little

hustle and bustle to escape from in the quiet historic community. The lake

and its park simply provide another opportunity to connect with nature while

canoeing, rock climbing, picnicking, fishing and camping. Four-legged

friends may even be invited along for the adventure, with over 350 acres of

pet-friendly terrain to explore. Prescott’s past is preserved along its pleasant tree-lined streets, particularly

on Whiskey Row, a block of downtown featuring saloons galore – a nod to

its 1860s Gold Rush culture. Today there are also shops, restaurants and

galleries among the plethora of old-time taverns. Back when Prescott was

an active hub for prospectors, cowboys and other colorful characters, it was

also the capital when Arizona was just a territory. This role as the figurative

heart of the Grand Canyon State for a short time is reflected in its literal

central location.

In 2017, Time Magazine named Prescott #13 on its list of the “Happiest and

Healthiest Cities in America.” And if residents ever happen to find a reason

to roam past the community’s picturesque avenues or beyond the peace of

Watson Lake, humming Phoenix is less than 100 miles south of Prescott, as

is Flagstaff to the northeast. Side trips to scenic Sedona or the quaint towns

of Jerome and Camp Verde are also just a short drive away.
