Mormon Lake Recreation Area

If you enjoy the refreshing outdoors and are a fishing, camping or hiking enthusiast, you'll love the Mormon Lake Recreation Area, a district within the Coconino National Forest. The area extends from the San Francisco Peaks in Flagstaff south beyond the Mormon Lake area. Expect scenic sites of Ponderosa pine and small mountain lakes including Mormon Lake which is the largest natural lake in Arizona. There is an abundance of wildlife including roaming herds of elk, deer and even bald eagles. Pronghorn antelope graze the prairies of the southern points of the recreation area.

There are several fee based campgrounds for both small and large groups. And an abundance of hiking trails of varying difficulty. The area boasts some of the best cross-country skiing during the winter season snowfall periods. Visit the Mormon Lake Recreation Area web page for details, maps, fees and reservation contacts.
