Dogtown Reservoir

Located about 7 miles from Williams in Kaibab National Forest, Dogtown Lake is a 94-acre reservoir that offers convenient access for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boaters. The site features a public boat ramp and allows electric motors, making it suitable for a variety of watercraft. The lake is nestled in a scenic forested setting, providing a peaceful paddling environment away from heavy development.

The picnic area includes amenities such as walking trails around the lake and picnic facilities. Nearby Dogtown Lake Campground offers overnight accommodations for those planning extended visits. The lake is regularly stocked with trout, crappies, and channel catfish, making it popular with anglers. Note that this is a non-reservable day-use facility, so plan accordingly if you're arriving during peak times.

Today, you'll find fewer prairie dogs than forest visitors, who've come to camp and fish for the trout, crappies, and channel cats stocked here. Near the lake, visitors can enjoy a guided nature trail and a hiking trail that leads to a scenic overlook of the area from the top of nearby Davenport Hill.
