About this place

Riggs Flat Lake is located at the end of Swift Trail, a road that winds along the top of the Pinale?o Mountains. It is a small picturesque lake, 11 acres in size, set in alpine forest and meadow. Its cold waters are stocked during the summer with brown and rainbow trout. For information on fishing licenses and stocking schedules: Arizona Game and Fish. If the big ones aren't biting, there is always plenty of scenery to enjoy. In addition to the views of the lake and the surrounding forest, West Peak is visible from the vicinity of the lake. So are Aravaipa Valley and the Galiuro Mountains to the west if you don't mind taking a short hike to get to an overlook. Note: Black bear area. Store and dispose of all food in bear-proof containers and trash bins, or keep it locked in your vehicle with windows all the way up. A fee is charged.
