We've been to Lake Mary a handful of times now... We typically spend some time every summer in…read moreFlagstaff and try to go paddleboarding at least once during our time there. This year was no exception... However, we went to Lower Lake Mary this year and were shocked to see that there was no water there! We went to Upper Lake Mary instead (just another 5-10 min drive), and fortunately, there was water there... Not the biggest or cleanest lake, but it does the job. On a beautiful summer day, you'll likely see other people there enjoying the water on motor boats, kayaks, paddle boards, etc... It's worth a visit if you're in the area - just keep your expectations in check!

Was a quick stop here during a day trip to flagstaff. It was too hot and so we couldn't stay for…read morelonger here and also water level was less since summer dried off most of the water and even water was yellow and not very clean. But still it is a great spot for having water fun once the water level increases. Day out or picnic with water activities for any family. It's big lake and plenty of space.

After the bakery we headed to Francis Short Pond. There are limited fishing options in Flagstaff…read moreand the Pond was the most convenient for our day. I didn't have high hopes, based on my experience with community fishing ponds in Phoenix and other cities. The nearby elementary school didn't make me feel better. I was expecting to see a Cheeto bag or Subway sandwich floating in the pond. When we arrived, it turned out to be much more picturesque than I was expecting. There were lots of ducks quacking and hoping that a kid had brought some food to throw in; this happened twice. I spotted three fishermen, including one who caught two trout while we were there. The highlight was seeing a hawk with a trout in its talons. We didn't see the hawk scoop the fish out of the water, but we did see it slowly circle the pond, struggling with the weight of the fish and fighting the wind, until it could fly back to its perch.

We came to this pond in the middle of January, and it was partially frozen, but still nice. It's a…read morepond. There are ducks. What else can I say?

Beautiful Lake Mary, Flagstaff Arizona!! Decided to come…read moreand have a look at Lake Mary unfortunately Lower Lake Mary is a dry land with weeds growing in it but Upper Lake Mary has some remnants of a water or like that used to be full at one time water is dirty but a nice view to see. People here are very active so you see a lot of people walking their dogs on the trail of Lake Mary.

The distance is about five miles on the highway and there is a $9 park charge to launch into the lake. Just a heads up as I don't believe this is clear going into it.

They accommodate our gluten free and vegetarian needs excellently. The equipment was well organized and reliable. They are helpful in providing transport to and from the put in and you can leave your car for a $3 a day fee - which is much safer then leaving it at a put in spot. Also they gave us a bunch of free swag :)

Picnic table was in the sun most of the day so would recommend pop up gazebo or umbrella in the summer. Plenty of room to post up around the fire pit! Key amenities: Bathrooms close by. Multiple bathrooms around campgrounds. Each one has a potable water station outside! Firewood and Ice for sale (can pay with card but easier with cash!) Trail directly to the lake! Tips: Bring hand soap (hand sanitizer only at the bathroom). Only 2 cars per site and hosts come by at night to pick up the $10 payment for the second vehicle (card acceptable!) Hosts were SO kind and campground is very well taken care of. Thank you for having us!

They have 2 trails connected to the campsite. One that is .5miles goes under the road to the lake, and one that is 1mile and goes up the mountain for the lake views. The campsite director did mention there are ravens so you do need to hide your food if you're going to be away. There were some ants, my dog did get bit up by some sort of bugs on her stomach. The campsite was $30 for the night + $10 for an extra car. I highly recommend this place! It was so peaceful

Then the grand…read morestate of AZ welcomes you to Coconino County, where you can spend a few days in true Azerionan wilderness. Forget about those pesky cacti and the annoying Palo Verde trees. Coconino County is one of the few places where you can see multitudes of real trees, fresh waters,and gape in awe at non-domesticated flora and fauna. Potato Lake is located just a little ways away from Coconino County, Az. at Latitude: 35.0545 and Longitude: -111.4027 at an elevation of only 7073 ft. be sure to stock up on supplies before heading out because there is no stores where you'll be heading! To get there just take the 87 north out of Phoenix pass Strawberry, take a right on Rim Rd or Forest Service Rd 613.You will see signs at that point to the lake when you are about 15 minutes away. First of all, the drive to get to the lake was is long as the history of fungi. But also much more exciting. Once you get more into the wilderness, you are going to see a lot more trees and animals, the air will be fresher and there will be little to no phone signal. It is important to keep an eye out while you are driving, watch out for animals that want to run out in front of your car. And be sure to really watch the dirt road, as sometimes the path will be obscured by fallen branches and/ or decomposing plant/animal matter so it's not a great idea to up it during or after any rainfall. Now besides all that you can see a great number of scenic views on the way, usually of the beautiful free-roaming wildlife. After climbing up the mountain for a good 45 minutes or so, you'll eventually reach the top of The mountain. On it is the still waters of Potato Lake, I am unsure of the fishing regulations there. but there are frogs and fish that survive within the cold water. There is also a cave nearby, and a small hill and rocky area beyond that to exploreas well. Remember to set up camp and stick together, relax and enjoy the peaceful solitude and Fresh air at Potato Lake!
