About this campground
Located on Forest Road 86, Black Canyon Lake offers excellent Trout fishing throughout the Spring, Summer, and Fall months. A hiking path meanders along the edge of the lake from the parking area to the dam. The entire Black Canyon area was heavily affected by the Rodeo-Chediski fire in 2002.
