A marina is available, along with a level fishing pad for wheelchairs. Hiking trails circle the lake. You should find a ranger, who can point out where you can see the petroglyphs on the far side of the lake. You can get to the petroglyphs by hiking or by boat. Campers will enjoy the lake too.
Campsites range from undeveloped to ones with water and electric hook-ups.
The lake is a favorite among water lovers. It has a boat ramp, swimming beach, picnic ramadas, gas pumps, supplies and boat rentals. During the summer months, the lake attracts so many people. This influx of people has caused the park to prohibit water skiing and jet skiing on weekends and holidays from May to October. You can get to Patagonia Lake State Park from Nogales by taking State Highway 82 east out of town.
