| - Definitely a great idea if you have family or friends visiting and want to show them some of the more beautiful aspects of this state! My dad was visiting for his birthday, and being from Wisconsin, we both love the water, so without easy access to another lake (read: no boat), I decided to take him on a relaxing desert cruise. The captain was very informative and answered everyone's questions, including what kinds of fish were in the lake. The views were gorgeous, especially at the end when you can see the Four Peaks shimmering in the distance. We saw a few hawks and eagles, learned about the local vegetation (including a really cool clubbed saguaro), found out when the fishing season was and enjoyed some great local beers (Four Peaks) on the boat. The inside of the boat is climate controlled, the front gets filled up very quickly, and while the top deck is well-shaded, the end seats can get pretty hot in the warmer months. The breeze was lovely and all of the staff were attentive and friendly.
Granted, it's not the most scenic or exciting thing in the world, but if you appreciate local tidbits, a calm atmosphere, and spending time on the water, you might want to check it out.
(Sidenote: They do have handicap accommodations, including a ramp to the boat deck, for what it's worth)
