MORMON LAKE

Holding the title of Arizona’s biggest natural lake, Mormon Lake is a must-see. Southeast of Flagstaff, this lake provides a multitude of activities; from racing speedboats, to surfing, to fishing, Mormon Lake does not leave its visitors disappointed. Be aware, however, that during droughts the lake can dry up entirely, so be sure to check the notices on the website below before heading up North. You may even be lucky enough to catch sight of some buffalo while up there! Mormon Lake Lodge offers log cabin stays, or campgrounds for those more adventurous travelers. Make sure to grab a drink at the lodge’s 1880s-style saloon where you can give your two-step skills a whirl Friday and Saturday nights with live music performances. http://www.fs.usda.gov/coconino/ and http://www.mormonlakelodge.com/
