As the sun sets, the lake transforms into a glowing canvas, offering a unique opportunity for families, couples, pet lovers, and friends to create lasting memories together.
From June 1 to August 31, 2026, join us for guided evening kayak trips launching from Saguaro Lake Marina. Each boat is equipped with LED lights beneath the hull, casting a mesmerizing neon glow on the water.
