We went on the Dolly Steamboat dinner cruise in the evening and it was quite the experience. The ship’s captain was very informative and entertaining as he navigated the vessel around the lake between the canyon walls and coves. The scenery while on the boat was awesome, with stunning views of the surrounding canyons and Four Peaks in the distance. We got to see several Big Horn Sheep along the way and a Blue Heron on the way back to the dock. Bald Eagles can be seen at times as well. Getting to the lake you travel on the 88 on a windy road, with scenic views of the desert landscape, past the entrance to Lost Dutchman park. While on the cruise we were served a very nice catered dinner with the main entrees being rosemary chicken and stuffed pork and a salad. There was water, iced tea and lemonade for drinks with the meal and dessert was served after dinner. You have the option of one or the other or both. There is also a cash bar onboard for other soft drinks and adult beverages. Crew members were friendly and attentive. The cruise lasts about 2 and a half hours. We would recommend this trip for anyone who wants to visit Canyon Lake - it’s just an hour or so drive from Phoenix and the surrounding communities.
