Lake Mary, Lake in Arizona, United States
Lake Mary is a reservoir in Arizona, United States, formed by a dam in a forested valley. The lake sits at high elevation and is surrounded by pine trees and rocky slopes, with clear water that reflects the sky.
The reservoir was created in the early 20th century to supply water to the growing town of Flagstaff. Over the years, it has been expanded and now serves both as a water source and a recreation area.
The lake is a popular spot for local families and students from nearby Flagstaff, who come to fish, hike, and picnic. On weekends, you might see people casting lines from the shore or launching small boats.
The area around the lake has several access points and trails, but some roads may be rough. It is best to visit during the warmer months, as winter can bring snow and ice.
The lake is one of the few places in Arizona where you can see bald eagles during winter. The surrounding forest also hides traces of old logging camps.
