Saguaro Lake Marina

First off, this review is strictly for the boat rental service which has been on multiple occasions a complete and utter unpleasant experience. You would think such a job would lead the individuals working there to be pleasant and helpful. Couldn’t be further from the truth. They are clearly miserable and always have the worse possible attitudes, any questions are met with hostility and disgust, they seem to try to encourage you not to rent a boat which leads me to believe the whole operation must be a front for some other type of enterprise because they can’t be looking to turn much of a profit with the incompetent attitudes they posess. As a hiring manager I wouldn’t give them a mop job. The marina on that beautiful lake should be ashamed those clowns are even a part of the experience.

First time here and employees just treat you like shit, this place is nice and beautiful, but pple who run this place that’s a def story. Renting a boat better have alot of money & the guy who helping you is no help at all, treat you like shit. «If you don’t like your job get another job.» Don’t ruin it for the guests «paying customers»

This marina is rather run down now, and it was not a great build to begin with. The dock planks are all loose and splintery (don’t walk barefoot!). The dock fingers are flimsy and wobbly, to the point of being dangerous at the ends. There are no cleats (!!) anywhere, just these weird metal loops you have to pull ropes through.
They don’t sell ice at the marina store. How weird, huh? You have to walk up the hill to the restaurant to get a little 7 pound bag of partially defrosted and refrozen ice. The service was friendly, but with a lot of rules. They’d smile while telling you that you can’t do this or that.
I have to say the guys at the haul-​out were VERY friendly and helpful, and did a great job hauling out my big cruiser for me.
The restaurant is your basic pub style fare, nothing to complain about and nothing to really talk about.
Beautiful lake, but I wouldn’t choose this marina again.

I come for the ALL U CAN EAT Crab Legs… Only Saturday night… burgers are great too! Get here early with your comfy pants to enjoy every bit of crab you can literally eat. I enjoy the lake scene and sitting on the patio. Oh and the strawberry shortcake is enough for 4 people, seriously!

This lake is a hidden lil gem… well, I’m sure it’s well-​known to people who have lived in the Phoenix area for a long time but we stumbled across it yesterday while driving around, taking pictures of cacti. (yeah — i know)
It’s so cute and quaint. Not a big lake or major water sports destination but, it has a lil restaurant and a marina… and yesterday it was a nice destination and provided some great photos.
I’ll return this summer! :)
See ya there!

For over 14 years my husband and I have gone to Lake Powell with a fun bunch for a week or more at a time. We have lots of traditions, competitions and silliness. one of our favorite traditions over the years has been the Annual Fish Fry. This serves as a time to start the banter, planning and summer for our little band of water skiers. This year was no exception.
Once again the Saguaro Fish Fry served it’s purpose .The wives began conspiring with lists of food, plans to relax and hanging out. The husbands talked cars, boats, engines and years gone by. Oh and everybody ate fish .lots of fish ‚
Saguaro Lake Marina is picturesque, relaxing and makes you feel ready to go wake-​boarding .The food is solid and simple. The waitresses are good sports and know how to be nice to the mature crowd as well as families and bikers. It’s a great place for out of towners or killing time with the relatives.

great place near town, good restaurant, great views, friendly people.

Saguaro Lake is a bit small, so you can’t really let ‘er rip here. But with soaring rocky cliffs and the occasional eagle overhead, it is beautiful. Plus it has two other nice features.
First off, it is surrounded like loads of 4-​wheeling trails. Whether you’re looking to tear up the sandy washes or climb rocky hills, it’s there.
Also, there is a boat-​in only campground — Bagley Flat. It contains maybe 10 sites, and several of them are on the water. The scenery can’t be beat. But be aware, we encountered LOTS of skunks there and many non-​stinging bees. We didn’t get stinky or stung, but we did have to mind our manners while we were there.
I would not hesitate to return though. Maybe I would pick a different campsite.
