Butcher Jones is a really fun area to go spend a day. It's a beautiful beach area off of Canyon Lake about 31 miles Northeast of Mesa, Arizona. Lots of fun to be had including picnic tables (with vault toilets available nearby), hiking, kayaking, swimming, and fishing. There's a great spot for beginners to rapel (if you bring your own equipment) and trails nearby for razors, mountain bikes, or dirt bikes. But our favorite pastime is relaxing and hanging out with friends! We see wild horses more often than not.

Best tips for the area is to bring a shade to hang out in, hats, sunscreen, coolers full of food, and stay hydrated. There's an area in front of the lake that you can use to load/unload and a separate parking area for vehicles with trailers very close by. No animals are allowed on the beach but can be in the picnic area if leashed. You need a Tonto Pass to park there but we use our America The Beautiful National Park pass.

I hope you enjoy the area as much as we do - keep traveling that wild road, friends!
