Water Canyon Road (FR285) to Big Lake

South of Eagar, Arizona, you're minutes away from the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest and about 25 minutes from Big Lake.


It's one of my favorite Southern Apache County back country roads to venture on.

Just south of Eagar, you find:

  • Saffel Canyon ATV Trail

  • Homestead Trailhead

  • Water Canyon Trailhead

  • Elderberry Spring Campground


As you climb up the canyon road:

  • Adjacent, Grand View Camp on 85

  • Adjacent, Greenwood Historic Homestead on 85

  • Little George Reservoir


A top the mountain range:

  • Crosby Crossing (East Fork Black River)


Reaching the Highway (Closed during winter(:

  • Left, Three Forks and Alpine, Arizona

  • Right, Big Lake and Sunrise Park


It is roughly 18 miles as the crow flies, so take it easy and enjoy the awesome scenery.
