    Tips

    December 3, 2023

    Hiking

    Middle Lagoon at Dead Horse Ranch State Park is a really accessible reservoir. There are a number of viewing areas that are close to the many parking lots, or you can hike on the trail circling around the banks of the lake.

    Running

    Middle Lagoon at Dead Horse Ranch State Park is a really accessible reservoir, so there are usually more crowds around this lake compared to the other two lagoons in the park (though the east lagoon can get busy on its northern banks). You can hop on the Verde River Greenway Trail just south of the path that circles Middle Lagoon.
