About: -
The Kaibab National Forest reaches from Ponderosa pine covered mountains around
Williams, Arizona to the Pinon and Juniper plains of Fredonia, Arizona. Although
water is not abundant on the Forest, there are several man-made lakes near
Williams which provide water related recreation as well as irrigation and
drinking water to the area. The largest of these lakes is
Dogtown Lake, named
for the Prairie Dog dogtown now submerged below the lake. The smallest,
Cataract
Lake, offers some of the best waterfowl viewing. Canoers will enjoy
White Horse
Lake. And, only Kaibab Lake has a wheelchair friendly fishing pier. Fishing is
permitted in each lake, primarily rainbow trout and catfish and there is an
attractive, rustic campground on each shore.
Kaibab Lake campground is just
off State Route 64, a major route to the Grand Canyon National Park (south rim).
The campground is frequently used by people on route to the Park. This
campground is also convenient to the many attractions of Williams, such as the
Grand Canyon Railroad, a nightly staged gunfight, Historic Route 66.
