A
nice 9 miles drive south of State Route 260 on State Route
473 will bring you to the jewel of the White Mountain Apache
Indian Tribe, Hawley Lake Campground. The
amenities are second to none on the reservation and the
scenery is unbelievable.
300
acres of water make up Hawley Lake, and if you like to fish
for trout, this is the place for you. Rainbow, brook, cuthroat
and brown trout all inhabit the lake, but to catch them
you must obtain a White Mountains Apache Indian
daily fishing permit from one of the sporting goods
stores in the Show Low, Pinetop/Lakeside area or at the
store on the lake. Hon-Dah Convienience store at the SR
260 and SR73 also has permits. Tel. 928 369-4311. There
is a country store on the lake to gas up, get a snack or
to buy a lure that you might have forgotten. You can also
purchase a fishing permit at the general store on the lake.
