Owned by the City of Prescott, Willow Lake is an ideal place to go bird-watching, paddle a canoe or kayak, or just sit in the rocks of the Granite Dells and enjoy the sun and water. Willow Lake is located at Heritage Park.

Willow Lake offers about 400 surface acres and is a favorite with kayakers, small sail boats, and paddle boats.
