Black Canyon Lake

Black Canyon Lake offers a boat ramp for non-motorized watercraft access in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest at 7,060 feet elevation, located 18 miles southwest of Heber via Forest Road 86.

Day-use only is permitted due to hazards from fallen trees following the 2002 Rodeo-Chediski Fire, with restrooms available but no potable water. Winter access is typically restricted from December through early April due to snow closures.
