Hiking
Located deeply in the White Mountains, Aker Lake is a true gem and a (not so secret) spot for fishing: the lake is one of very few waters in Arizona where you can catch Apache Trout and Grayling. And even if you are not here for the catch, you can take a hike into the nicely forested area. The Aker Lake trail is 3.5 miles that will take you to the Hannagan campground. There is also a lot of wildlife around. We even saw a bald eagle catching a fish from the lake.

This small hidden gem, which has apache trout and arctic grayling, is a catch and release lake. You are sure to enjoy a relaxing day of fishing here! Make sure to only use artificial lures and flies.
