Kaibab National Forest

About Kaibab National Forest

Kaibab National Forest is located in northern Arizona, between the Grand Canyon and the Colorado River, in the northern part of Arizona State and in southern New Mexico.

Most of the terrain is relatively flat, with the exception of the Mogollon Rim, which cuts diagonally through the southwestern part of this forest. The difference in altitude between the forests is small, and at high altitudes conifers are interspersed with aspen; at lower altitudes there are coniferous and juniper forests, as well as a small number of pine forests.

American wilderness is woven into the folklore, history, art, and literature of our nation as viewed with reverence and restraint by the early settlers of the New World. Wilderness is part of America's heritage; loneliness and freedom are key, but it is also a source of pride in one's heritage.

As the land developed, most of the wild land gave way to cities, farms and other commercial uses. The wilderness that witnessed the birth and early growth of our nation is no longer spread from ocean to ocean. Many untamed tracts of land have been preserved under the US national forest system, which is majestically reminiscent of the original America.

The Forest Service maintains this wilderness area in good faith and is proud of its management and commitment to preserve it for future generations.

The main campsite season in the district is Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends, but most campsites are open during the peak season. Every year, more than 150,000 visitors visit the developed forest camps, most of them on the west side of the park.

Camping in the Kaibab National Forest is limited to 14 days (30 days) and is only permitted for people with a Forest Service Permit for Southwest Recreation.

The developed campsites are the first - come, served first, and group places must be reserved in advance. A number of reservations can be found at the visitor center or contact the Kaibab National Forest Ranger District.

These campsites have no electricity, drainage or water supply, but all have picnic tables, fireplaces and barbecues. Paid garbage dumps are available at the Whitehorse campsite on the west side of the Kaibab National Forest and at a number of other sites in the area. All campsites have taps and toilets and all connections have electricity and sewage.

Bonfires are limited to existing fire rings and grilles and can be banned in times of extreme fire danger. Firewood can be sold at the campsite or dead or fallen wood can be collected for the fire, but the law says that fires must never be lit or left unattended.

Throughout the forest there are many undeveloped campsites and picnic areas, which are used by visitors gladly. Picnicking is permitted in all areas of the park, including on an open-air campsite, but picnics on an open-air campsite may be subject to a charge. Remember that camping is allowed on any campsite, so campers must first have the right place.

It can be unsafe to drink and should always be treated properly, but it can cause serious health problems in humans, animals and wildlife.

There is a creek in the Williams Ranger District, but remember to have your rights to pristine camping and picnic sites with others. Don't leave rubbish behind and remember that others have the right to an unspoiled camping or picnic spot.

The J.D. Dam is a warm water fishery, but due to the scarcity of navigable water in the forest, only a limited number of boat trips are made. Fishing is possible at the lakes, many of which are near tents, and people can fish in large pools, including the large pool near the dam and the small pool in front of the dam.

In Rosslesee, the reservoir is part of the water supply to the town of Williams, but boat trips are mostly limited to a limited number of boats and a few small boats per day.

Swimming is not allowed in the lake, and motor boats are limited to a limited number of boats and a few small boats per day. The lake at the Kaibab cataract is allowed, but swimming is only allowed on the west side of the cataracts and only in a small area near the shore.

The surface of the lake varies between 40 and 70 hectares, with a maximum depth of about 1.5 meters. Most boat trips on the lake are connected with fishing activities with a small boat, and fishing activities are connected with fishing activities in the Kaibab National Forest.

On the lake you can go boating or fishing, and both can accommodate up to three boats with a maximum capacity of 1,000 to 2,500 people.

When choosing a campsite, be sure to pay a daily usage fee, and if you stay at the campsite, you will be charged a fee.

In winter and early spring you can also enjoy the historic gardens, and the paths wind along the coast of the lowlands. Birds, lizards and desert cotton tails are commonplace, as are birds, reptiles, bats, birds of prey and bird strikes.

Head north on State Highway 64 to Williams before entering the southern part of the forest and entering the wooded area north of the Grand Canyon.
