Mormon Lake

Mormon Lake, 29 miles southeast of Flagstaff Arizona is the largest natural lake in Arizona. Often during severe droughts, the lake recedes and sometimes even completely dries up. It is fed from the rain and snow melt in the nearby mountains. Mormon Lake is surrounded by Ponderosa Pine forests in a lush setting. At an elevation of about 7,000 feet, the summer temperatures are cool and refreshing and rarely reaches 90 degrees F.

It is only about 17 miles southeast of Upper Lake Mary. If you are an outdoor enthusiast and love fishing, camping and hiking, Mormon Lake is a great choice. There is an abundance of wildlife including herds of elk and deer with Pronghorn antelope grazing the prairies of the southern points of the recreation area.
