Recent development of Fool Hollow Lake Recreation Area has created a top of
the line experience. Campsites are located in several loops that wind amongst
ponderosa pine. Many campsites have a view of the 150 acre lake and wildlife
islands. The predominant tree species is ponderosa pine with juniper and
pinyon pine scattered about. A newly constructed day use area offers five
large group picnic ramadas and two playgrounds.

Scott Reservoir Recreation Site Closure - Lakeside RD

## Overview

Lewis Canyon is a large single-group campsite located in the scenic White
Mountains region of eastern Arizona. With several amenities and activities,
including hiking and horseshoes, the facility is great for family gatherings
and other large groups.

## Recreation

A variety of recreation opportunities are available from the campground, with
access to the beautiful and extensive White Mountain Trail System for hiking
and mountain biking. Numerous Forest Service Roads nearby can accomodate OHV
enthusiasts on a variety of terrain. Currently we are in Stage 2 Fire
Restrictions so campfires are not allowed.

## Facilities

Lewis Canyon can accommodate up to 150 guests. The camping area is secluded,
and is spaced around a large loop for the group to spread out. Vault toilets
and a picnic area are provided.

## Natural Features

Lewis Canyon Campground is located in a beautiful ponderosa pine setting with
a large open field nearby. It sits at an elevation of approximately 6,600 feet
in the Sitgreaves National Forest. Wildlife including turkey, elk and mule
deer are often seen nearby.  
  
Summer temperatures can be very pleasant because of the elevation. However,
the summer monsoon season often brings afternoon thunderstorms from late June
through August. Visitors should come prepared for rain and cool nighttime
temperatures.

## Nearby Attractions

Visitors can explore vistas and take part in many outdoor activities in the
surrounding Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest, which encompasses 2 million
acres of magnificent mountain country in east-central Arizona and New Mexico.
