Lynx Lake
While not a part of the Upper Granite Creek Watershed, Lynx Creek and Lynx Lake are definitely worthy of mention here. This creek drains the area east of Spruce Mountain and flows to the north and east before joining the Agua Fria River. Lynx Lake is an ideal spot to paddle a kayak, walk the trail around the lake, or follow the creek upstream or downstream. Osprey commonly nest on platforms erected in the lake. During the winter of 2001/2002 a pair of Bald Eagles on the platform and the Osprey moved further downstream! The lake is managed by Prescott National Forest and a $2 fee may be required.
