Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests |
The Apache-Sitgreaves national forests comprise 2,008,308 acres along the south rim of the Colorado Plateau in east-central Arizona. They are named, respectively, for the Apaches and for Lt. Lorenzo Sitgreaves, who in 1851 led the first military topographical mapping expeditions across Arizona. The forests include the Mount Baldy, Bear Wallow and Escudilla wilderness areas and the Blue Range Primitive Area. Hunting is permitted in season. Numerous lakes and streams offer trout fishing. Boats with motor larger than 8 horsepower are prohibited; on some lakes only electric motors are permitted. Trails for off-road vehicles and picnic facilities are available in summer. Visitor centers are at Big Lake and on the Mogollon Rim near Herber. Visitor information also is available in summer from attendants at developed campgrounds in the forests and district ranger offices.
