Prescott, AZ, May 15, 2024— The Lynx Lake water system will be shut down temporarily starting on Thursday, May 16, for important water storage tank maintenance. Visitors need to plan accordingly and are advised to bring all their water with them, including drinking water.  No water will be available on site until repairs are completed.

Recreation sites impacted by this temporary water system shut down include:

• Lynx Lake North Shore
• Lynx Lake South Shore
• Lynx and Hilltop Campgrounds
• Eagle Ridge Group Campground

While the water system is being maintained, portable toilets will be placed at North Shore and within Lynx Campground (loops B and E) in lieu of flush toilets. Vault toilets will continue to be serviced and available.  Barrels of water stationed outside vault toilets are for toilet cleaning purposes only and are non-potable.

The completion date for required maintenance is unknown at this time.  A notice will be issued once maintenance has been completed and the water system returned to service.

Prescott National Forest recreation staff regret the inconvenience to visitors.
