Lakeside Lake is located at Chuck Ford-Lakeside Park in east Tucson, Arizona, United States, on the northwest corner of Stella Road and Sarnoff Drive.
At some juncture, Kinnison built a canal and dam which in turn formed a reservoir, on his property from the river runoff, to allow him to water his crops.
Leighton, continued "This land soon after became a guest ranch, called El Rancho Pantano and in time became the property of the Atterbury family."
Their daughter, Joan Atterbury moved to the property a couple years later where she resided and raised race horses.
In 1960, after first attempting to sell the property to Pima County, Mr. Atterbury sold it to the Lusk Corporation who developed the Lakeside subdivisions.
