More than 103 FOOL HOLLOW LAKE · 2019-04-08 · White Mountain Trail System: More than 103 miles of hiking divided into 11 loop trails. Access points are located within 15 miles

Year-round camping, fishing, picnicking, boating, and wildlife viewing make Fool Hollow Lake Recreation Area State Park a popular place. This cool country recreation area has a 150-acre lake surrounded by towering pine trees and offers 92 hookup sites and 31 non-hookup sites.

The park was named when Thomas Jefferson Adair moved into the area in 1885 to start a farm. The locals joked that only a fool would try to farm the land, and the name stuck!

Arizona State Parks & Trails would like to thank its partners who worked to develop this recreation area – the US Forest Service, Arizona Game & Fish, the City of Show Low, and corporate sponsors Arizona Public Service and McCarty Construction Company.

Thank you for visiting!

Show Low Creek flows into Fool Hollow Lake, providing a natural habitat for a variety of wildlife and a very diverse fishery. There are six fishing platforms around the lake, and two fish cleaning stations. Fishing opportunities are abundant with rainbow trout, large and small mouth bass, black crappie, green sunfish, channel catfish, walleye and northern pike all present in the lake.

A valid Arizona fishing license is required for anglers 10 years and older.

Five day-use ramadas are available. Each ramada has picnic tables, a large charcoal grill (use contingent on fire restrictions), a serving table, electricity (15 amp service), a horseshoe pit and restrooms. Two playgrounds are centrally located.
