Lake
Ashurst is comprised of two separate campgrounds
with one host. Situated on both the west and east sides
of the lake, there are 25 campsites at each campground.
At the western campground (Lake Ashurst), the trees are
more dense providing a little more cover in the summer months.
Forked Pine Campground offers better views
of the San Francisco Peaks, the tallest mountain in Arizona
at 12,643 feet.
Fishing
at Ashurst Lake is fair with Northern Pike and stocked Rainbow
Trout. Muddy waters makes for slow fly fishing, but bait
fishing can reward you with large Northern Pike. I have
had numerous fisherman at Ashurst tell me that corn soaked
in minced garlic works wonder to get a bent pole often.
