Residents at our Arizona ranch lots at Spring Flower Ranch—whether they live here year-round or just use the property as an Arizona vacation getaway—will find plenty of things to do nearby. Among the many things to do in and near Williams, AZ is fishing. Anglers exploring our Arizona real estate might find it a perfect getaway, located near some of the state’s best fishing spots.
Fishing spots near Williams, Arizona
Spring Flower Ranch is just minutes away from two regularly-stocked lakes. About 10-15 minutes south of the Northern Arizona ranch property, right between the lot and downtown Williams, you’ll find Kaibab lake. At this 45-acre fishing hole, you can catch rainbow and brown trout, catfish, or largemouth bass. Your out-of-town visitors will find great camping here, too, and there are some nice, easy hiking trails surrounding the lake.
Just a bit southwest of Kaibab lake, a mile outside of downtown, is Cataract Lake. It’s slightly smaller than Kaibab at 35 acres, and it’s daytime-use only, but the fishing’s great. Like Kaibab, you’ll find rainbow and brown trout, catfish, and largemouth bass. There’s no overnight camping here, but there are charcoal grills where you can cook up your day’s catch.
If you’re willing to drive just a bit farther from your Arizona ranch, Dogtown Reservoir is about 20 minutes south of town. The same fish are on the menu here as the other nearby lakes, and out-of-towners can pitch their tents for overnight camping, but no RVs, please.
Coconino National Forest river and stream fishing
While you’d never need to leave the vicinity of your Williams, AZ ranch property, if you’d like a bit more solitude and perhaps a bit more challenge while angling for your meal, rivers and streams abound in Coconino. Still just a short drive from your property in Williams, the “Wild and Scenic” Fossil Creek offers the chance to fish for roundtail chub—catch and release only—along with a dose of natural beauty.
The Verde River—another officially-designated “Wild and Scenic River”—also flows through here, and is regularly stocked with trout. You might also catch large- and smallmouth bass, sunfish, yellow perch, and others.
Also in Coconino are Oak Creek, Wet Beaver Creek, and West Clear Creek. You may never run out of new fishing spots to explore here.
There are plenty of things to do in and near Williams. Fishing is but one of the many outdoor activities you might choose as a resident of the ranch property. If it’s an activity you enjoy, though, you’ll love the location. Give us a call to learn more or to setup a visit—877.345.0296.
