More Open Water Than Canyon Lake and Saguaro Lake, Combined
Bartlett Lake Marina is the closest full-service marina to the Phoenix metro, just 17 miles from Carefree, 30 miles from Scottsdale, and under an hour from Mesa, Chandler, and Gilbert. Set inside the Tonto National Forest on 2,815 boatable acres, Bartlett Lake offers more open water than Canyon Lake and Saguaro Lake combined, making it the premier boating destination in the greater Phoenix area.
Whether you're looking to rent a boat for the day, take the jet skis out for a few hours, or paddle the coves on a kayak or SUP board, Bartlett Lake Marina has everything you need on-site: rentals, fuel, a marina store, waterfront dining, and easy dock access with no trailering required.
Bartlett Lake sits in the heart of the Tonto National Forest, fed by the pristine waters of the Verde River. Outdoor enthusiasts come for more than just the water. Shoreline camping, desert hiking, and some of the best wildlife viewing in the Phoenix area are all part of the experience. Keep an eye out for mule deer, bald eagles, javelina, and coyotes, along with iconic Sonoran Desert plants including saguaro cacti, mesquite trees, and blooming ocotillo.
