Besides having 30,000 acres for ecotourism, adventure and hunting, our ranch is bordered, on its eastern zone, by majestic Angostura Lake. Due to its isolation and remoteness, its lack of facilities or infrastructure, Angostura Lake remains a hidden gem of spectacular nature beauty and amazing fishing.
Nowhere in the southwestern United States or northern Mexico does there exist a lake so isolated and unspoiled, yet so pristine and beautiful, as exists in the Rancho Los Baños vicinity. A stone’s throw away from the ranch’s border lies Lake Angostura, a man-made dammed body of water twenty miles long and three miles wide surrounded by mountains, mesas and canyons, helping to make its scenery some of the most spectacular of any lake in North America.
Combined with excellent year round weather, inspiring scenery, its strategic location in the middle of an important migratory bird corridor, its near total isolation and seclusion, and its abundant and high quality bass fishing, Lake Angostura is an outdoorsmen and nature lover’s paradise.
The lake has provided above average, very high quality bass fishing to fishermen for decades. Lake Angostura has become a hidden gem in Sonora, as well as within some circles of southeast Arizona, for the high level, abundance and quality of its fish. Yet its abundant supply of bass is not only due to its great weather and location, but because of its complete isolation and lack of stress on its fish population. Indeed, rarely will you see even one boat on the lake. In fact, when on the lake, you will most likely be the only person on the water, not just that day, but probably that month. This is not an exagerration, either.
The inaccessibility of the lake to the general public is perhaps the best reason why Lake Angostura remains a virgin body of water, a true hidden gem in the middle of the border of the Sonoran and Chihuahan deserts. While the general public struggles with very rough roads and the distance to reach the lake, concluding that great fishing and scenery are not worth the hassle, you will not have to deal with any of those issues. Rancho Los Baños is a mere mile or two away from the lake, with direct access to the water. From your cabin, tent or lodge, you are minutes away from one of the best kept secrets in the region, ready to enjoy this majestic body of water, hassle free.
Our fishermen guests come from all over the world, including Europe, Canada, Latin America and the United States. As a guest, you are welcome to bring your own boats, kayaks, canoes, jet skis, etc... Here, they will be safe, staying near your accommodation, and mere minutes away from a 20 mile long lake with incredible views, fishing and outdoor activities. Nowhere else near Arizona, or the entire Southwest for that matter, can you enjoy your own personal lake, without crowds, boats, noise or pollution.
