About this destination
McKellips Lake is a man-made lake located in Mesa, Arizona, USA. It is nestled within the 66-acre park of the same name, which is maintained by the City of Mesa. The park features several walking paths, picnic areas, and a playground in addition to the lake.
While the lake is relatively small, it is popular among locals for fishing. The Arizona Game and Fish Department stocks the lake regularly with rainbow trout during the winter months, making it a prime spot for anglers.
The lake is also home to a variety of waterfowl, including ducks and geese, and is a great spot for birdwatching. Visitors can also rent paddleboats and explore the lake from a different perspective. The lake is open year-round and admission is free.
