At
two
and
a
half
miles
long
and
250
surface
acres,
Patagonia
Lake
is
popular
for
a
variety
of
recreational
activities,
including
water
skiing,
fishing,
camping,
picnicking,
and
hiking.
Created
by
the
damming
of
Sonoita
Creek,
the
lake
is
filled
with
bass,
crappie,
bluegill,
and
catfish,
and
is
stocked
with
rainbow
trout
during
the
winter.
For
anglers'
sake,
half
of
the
lake
is
designated
a
no
wake
area.
A
level
fishing
pad
is
provided
for
wheelchair
access.
Because
the
lake
attracts
a
multitude
of
water
lovers
during
summer
months,
water
skiing
and
jet
skiing
are
prohibited
on
weekends
and
holidays
from
May
1
through
October
1.

swimming
beach,
and
