Scott Reservoir, lake in the United States
Scott Reservoir is a body of water in Arizona surrounded by natural landscape, popular for fishing and boating activities. The waterside offers basic campsites with picnic tables and toilets but no electrical hookups or shower facilities.
The land around the lake was once sacred to Native tribes, with rocks and artifacts still telling stories of ancient peoples. The reservoir later became established as a practical spot for local recreation and outdoor activities.
The site is most accessible during warmer months and operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no reservation system. Visitors should prepare for basic conditions and bring their own water, food, and camping gear.
The clear night sky above the reservoir makes it a good destination for those interested in stargazing away from light pollution. Its proximity to notable natural areas like Painted Desert and Petrified Forest makes it a convenient base for day trips to these attractions.
