    I have camped in Prescott before, but never at this lake. I had heard great things about Lynx Lake…read moreand have always wanted to check it out. This lake was formed in the 1960s when they dammed Lynx Creek. It is stocked for fishing and has a campground and hiking trails around it. There are lots of animals that are native to this area like mule deer, osprey and bald eagles. I booked a campsite here during the summer because I own a kayak and wanted to get out on the water. After setting up my site, I headed over to Lynx Lake. I was a little disappointed to see the water so low. I guess in late 2024, the lake was partially drained to fix a mechanical failure in the dam's outlet valve. It has to rely entirely on natural rain and snow to be refilled and could take years to get back to normal. So we just did a hike around the lake and headed back to our campsite. Lynx Campground has around 35 campsites with a picnic table, fire ring and a grill at each site. There are no RV hook-ups, but they do have drinking water and toilets. The campsite is about half a mile directly south of Lynx Lake. We enjoyed our campsite and had a fun time. We had to partially share our site with another family because their giant tent spilled onto our site (which was annoying). But we made the most of it. The nice thing is that the Town of Prescott isn't too far away if you need any food or supplies. As for kayaking, we were able to do that over at Watson Lake. You can book a campsite ahead of time on Recreation.gov.

    I've been to Lynx Lake a few times, and this recent visit was pretty similar to my past…read moreexperiences. I'm giving it a 3-star review mainly because the lake has recently been drained and they want it to refill naturally, so it's unclear when water levels will return to normal. There is also a $5 day-use fee to enter the park. You can pay cash or card. Currently, the park opens at 7:00 AM and the gates close at 5:00 PM. The trail around the lake is about 2.5 miles and offers a few different routes, including at least one path that leads to a small waterfall (or what would be a waterfall if the lake wasn't drained). The west side of the lake is more paved and level, making it easier for walking, while the east side is more rugged with a dirt trail. One thing to add, the bathrooms were clean, but they had smell in them was hard to ignore and really unpleasant. Overall, it's still a nice area for a casual walk around the lake, especially if you're in the area.

    We recently booked a trip with Richard in the White Mountains and were very disappointed in the…read morecomplete lack of planning and knowledge that our guide had. We were already prepped for the fact that the wildfires and current conditions were going to make for a tough time fishing, but when you spend almost 5 hours in the car driving in between Greer and White River how are you going to catch anything. Richard did not know what streams to fish, what the hours of operation were for the facilities to purchase licenses, nor did he have a plan on which areas we were going to fish. I specifically booked a guide this time up to the white mountains because two years prior all I did was drive around and through the white mountains with nothing to show. Well we re lived the trip again as we drove about 75 Miles from 6:00am until 2:00pm stopping to fish a small stream just west of Big Lake and then again just west of Reservation Lake. He kept telling us that we were going to catch Brookies, Brown, & Rainbows, and that some of the creeks had small mouth bass in them, but none of the creeks we fished were deeper than 2 feet, which was surprising because he scolded my father in law for wearing jeans because supposedly we were going to be in water that was waste high, we didn't even have to pull out our waders. Richard may be a good guide for lakes and ponds but if you want a true fly fishing experience I would not book him. Now if you want a driving tour of the white mountains I think that you should book him, but make sure you get a Reservation Recreation Pass so you don't get pulled over by the Reservation Game Warden for driving around lost on the Res without a pass like we did, and make sure you keep close so he doesn't leave you in the dust to explain to the officer why you are driving around the white mountains without the correct permits. We should have just booked a boat at Big Lake, dropped line, and fished there. By the way Richard still thought it was fair that he get paid for his services. Personally I wouldn't have taken a dime if I did that to my clients.
