Watson Lake is just outside Prescott. It is surrounded by granite rock formations some of which are very nice for climbing. It is possible to rent kayaks or hike around the lake. Popular also is to pack a picknick and spend a day in the park next to the lake. There are hiking trails around the lake and many just do some rock hopping along the water front.
The cliff we found for climbing was very close to the water and had 5 routes. The wall was well protected (easy to place gear that felt safe) and had a couple of very nice routes. It was not difficult but a nice start of our climbing holiday. 🙂
