Confirmed from Sahuarita Lake Park - Town of Sahuarita's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Lake surrounded by trees and grassy areas popular for walking, biking and picnics, plus fishing.
What runners say about Sahuarita Lake Park - Town of Sahuarita
“From what I saw it is a favorite spot for anyone to walk, run, or ride.”
What a peaceful walk you will have here. Fishing is good. Just shy of a mile around the lake plenty of places to rest
Wonderful place for a nice walk or just a lake side sit. Not too busy, but lots going on... wildlfishand people. There was a 5K going on and music could be heard all around the lake. We enjoyed that.
A peaceful, lovely man-made lake in the middle of Sahuarita suburbia. A sidewalk winds around the entire lake with benches, picnic tables and chairs shades areas. The best part: the lake is stocked with Rainbow Trout, and other species!
This is kind of a hidden gem in the middle of several subdivisions. You can walk with the family, run (exercise stations around the loop), fish, enjoy community activities, or relax in the grass. Everyone we encountered was cordial and respectful of each other's space.
