Nearby Attractions and Activities:
Coconino National Forest is one of the most diverse National Forests in the country with landscapes ranging from the famous red rocks of Sedona to Ponderosa pine forests, from southwestern desert to alpine tundra. Explore mountains and canyons, fish in small lakes, and wade in lazy creeks and streams.
The Lake Mary Recreation Corridor, located along Lake Mary Road, is a popular recreation area right outside of Flagstaff that gives vistors access to numerous recreational opportunities. 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. It’s also popular with those who prefer people-power or windpower over horsepower. For those who like fishing, the lake has northern pike, channel cat, crappie, and some trout. Upper Lake Mary Boat Launch and Picnic Area offers boat launch and picnic facilities. Lake Mary Narrows Boat Launch and Picnic Area provides excellent access facilities for disabled anglers by means of paved lakeshore ramps. Popular trails include the Wood Memorial and Arizona Trails, which take hikers on beautiful scenic tours of the surrounding area.
Ashurst Lake, located a few miles down Lake Mary road, is regularly stocked with rainbow and brook trout, it’s an excellent place to fish. It’s a good place to paddle your canoe, too, or to windsurf or enjoy any of a number of other water sports. A graveled road to the lake and around it provides a good place to ride your mountain bike. The setting is not bad either. The San Francisco Peaks stand picture perfect on the horizon. Other popular lakes in the area are Marshall Lake, Kinnikinick Lake, and Morman Lake.
