Willow Lake - Prescott Area AZ

Willow Lake Prescott Summer

On Sunday August 5th, my husband and I decided to take a drive out to Prescott where the community of Talking Rock is located. We did not have our grandson to watch because he is in Switzerland with his parents for the month. 

I have a client who wanted me to preview a beautiful luxury home in Talking Rock. On the way back, we went past Willow Lake and had to take a picture. This is just a small finger of the lake. But the deep blue color of the water was very impressive framed by the cream colored boulders. Youcould feel the tranquil energy that this lake holds for those who enjoy all that it has to offer. 

There is a boat launch (no gas powered boats), courtesy dock, picnic ramadas, restrooms and a multi-use trail around the lake and fishing.  For you birders, this is an "Important birding area" designated by the Audubon Society. 

Doesn't that water look inviting! Unfortunately, no swimming allowed. It is a reservoir for the Prescott area.

Sheri,

We were recently in Prescott, and we were totally delighted with both the climate and the beautiful scenery, and those breathtaking dells.  Nice photo.  A

We decided to take a Sunday drive, and after visiting Talking Rock, we just drove until the road turned into dirt! You would never know you were in Arizona.

Sheri Sperry - MCNE® That color just got a gasp out of me. We have to preserve these treasures! And praise to Audubon Society for its work.

That's a beautiful lake in the midst of a gorgeous scene, Sheri!  I once visited relatives who lived in Prescott.  It's a really nice place!

It really is. I am surprised at the price of homes though. They are in competition with Sedona for pricing.

Morning Sheri.

Who would have a lake like that and not expect anyone to go swimming?  I wonder how many violators there are in a year.

LOL James Dray - You would think they might have a swimming beach. Maybe it is too rugged an area?

Sheri, that does look like a gorgeous area, and hope the home you previewed works for those buyers.

HI Joan Cox - I love the homes at Talking Rock. However, it is expensive to own there. You have to belong to the country club and without the golf package, it is approx. $22k to join and $200 month HOA fee and you have to spend $200 on food at the restaurants and food concessions per month!

My first thought was wanting to take a big plunge in that lovely blue water. Now, I know it's not allowed. Ha. Still, what a beautiful spot to live.  I'm sure homes at Talking Rock command a handsome price. I get the reason why too.

What a gorgeous photo Sheri Sperry - MCNE® .  It is interesting that you can launch a boat on the lake but there is no swimming...
