Wildlife sightings are especially common on Saguaro Lake this time of year.

February is one of the best months to spot desert bighorn sheep, bald eagles, wild horses, and other native wildlife along the lake’s 22 miles of shoreline. One of the easiest ways to see it all is from the water aboard the Desert Belle’s narrated cruise.

Narration cruises run daily at 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM.

As you travel through the winding desert canyons, our captains share the history of the lake, the surrounding Sonoran Desert landscape, and the animals that live here, turning the scenery around you into a true Arizona experience.
