White Horse lake panorama

WILLIAMS — We visited White Horse Lake and found that it filled quite well from our fair winter weather. It was restocked last month with trout.

Camping space directly around the lakes are fee-based camping spaces, but they do have free day use areas. Along the road to White Horse there are free camping areas laid out.

The trails to Bill Williams Mountain are currently open. The road to Buckskinner and to the Santa Fe Dam are also open.

It seems that all is in order for a good camping, fishing and hiking season in Williams. Some are already taking advantage of the opportunities as space are filling up.
