  • 4. Ashurst Lake Flagstaff
    Ashurst Lake is a small lake located on the Anderson Mesa 20 miles southeast of Flagstaff. It is one of the few natural lakes in the state of Arizona, the bulk of which reside in the area. Unlike similarly sized lakes in the North Central Arizona region, Ashurst is fed by more reliable springs and has a reputation for retaining water even during long dry periods. The lake is regularly stocked with rainbow trout and thus a common destination for local anglers. Ashurst Lake is also considered a favorable fishing location for Northern Pike.
