6.Watson Lake, Arizona
Kayaking at seventy-acre Watson Lake in Prescott, Arizona, is a great idea any time of year except winter. The huge granite boulders that surround the calm lake make it a noteworthy place for bouldering, hiking, picnicking, paddleboarding, and kayaking. You don’t need a permit to go kayaking, but parking there will cost you $3.00.
You can rent a kayak if you don’t own one. Solo kayaks will cost you at least $15.00 for the first hour and at least $10.00 for each hour thereafter. Tandem kayaks are at least $20.00 for the first hour and a minimum of $15.00 for each hour beyond that. If you spend three hours there, you should budget at least $35.00 per person.

Whether you take a one-day trip or spend days here the most exciting parts are found in the Silverton and Rockwood Gorge sections. The Needleton portion is not as crazy but has stunning scenery. The Lower Animas River in Durango is family-friendly and great for beginners.
