Upper Lake Mary

Current Conditions

Due to low water levels, the only ramp recommended for motorized watercraft is the south boat ramp at Upper Lake Mary. The north courtesy dock is not in the water. Non-motorized watercraft, such as kayaks and paddleboards, can be launched from both the south and north boat ramps at Upper Lake Mary as well as the launch at the Narrows. Current south ramp launching recommendations: Launch one watercraft at a time on the aggregate past the concrete ramp Wade to the launch area and pre-position watercraft for launch Use four-wheel drive on the launch ramp - two-wheel drive vehicles will likely lose traction below the concrete Smaller boats with shorter trailers will be easier to launch

Upper Lake Mary is the largest of Flagstaff's twin lakes. This long, narrow reservoir is especially popular with power boaters and water skiers because there is no motor size limit on it. But it's also popular with those who prefer people-power or windpower over horsepower. You're liable to see everything from jet boats to rubber rafts, canoes and sailboats all sharing this same body of water. It's a popular fishing spot, too.
