In Tucson, AZ, on Interstate 10, take the Speedway Blvd. exit (exit 257) to Speedway Blvd. Turn east onto Speedway Blvd. and go 9.2 miles (passed University of Arizona) to Pantano Rd. Turn left onto Pantano Rd. and go 1.1 miles to the Tanque Verde Rd ramp. Bear right onto the ramp and go 1.6 miles (on Tanque Verde Rd.) to Catalina Hwy. Turn left onto Catalina Hwy. and go 13.1 miles to Rose Canyon Lake sign (Rose Canyon Rd.). Turn left onto Rose Canyon Rd. into campground.
Beautiful place to hang out for the day or to camp for the night Had a blast even though the fish were not biting at all.
Great location but needs to be bigger and more upgrades for being where it’s at I’m very disappointed I wouldn’t mind paying a premium fee to fish at a much nicer place
I was very disappointed that the gate to the lake wasn't open (as stated on the website), we tried to walk it but it turned out to be too much for this old lady. Will plan better next trip.
Great facilities with easy access to the lake. Nice pet and kid friendly paths circle the lake shore giving good access to great spots to fish and hang out. Encounters with staff make this a less than pleasant experience however. Certain staff are under the impression that walking into the water up to your shins constitutes swimming (which isn't allowed at this lake) and they will loudly accost you if you try to cool your feet off in the water.
Had a great time playing in the snow with the family. It wasn’t busy or crowded since only a few people walked the trail with their pets
