Overview

Fishing and relaxing by Willow Springs Lake is what this trail is all about. This very short and easy trail is often missed when traveling around the Arizona Rim Country. The trail leads to numerous parking spots that are a very short walk to the water's edge. It is easy enough that passenger cars can make it all the way to the end at Sardine Point. The fishing is the main draw because quite often the Forest Service stocks the lake with trout. The lake is also a very popular birding spot with many types of predator birds, like the bald eagle which can be spotted diving for fish right offshore.
