Fishing/Camping/Boating Areas
The White Moutntain Apache Tribe welcomes you to the Reservation. We will make your fishing and camping experience as enjoyable and relaxing as possible. With one third of Arizona's coldwater resources (800 miles of streams and 2300 acres of reservoirs), the Reservation provides the widest variety of fishing experiences in the southwest. Anglers can fish for bass and catfish in low elevation waters, fish for Apache, brook, brown, and rainbow trout in one of twelve lakes or 40 streams, rent a lake exclusively for your group, or fish in waters managed for "trophy" fish.
