Lakes of North-Central Arizona
Lake Mary, Lower Lake Mary, Mormon Lake, Marshall
Lake, Kinnikinick Lake, Mud Lake and Cow Lake

Lake Mary, Lower Lake Mary, Mormon Lake, Kinnikinick Lake, Marshall Lake, Mud
Lake and Cow Lake are all fairly close to each other, southeast of Flagstaff in the high
country of north-central Arizona. Water levels in all of these lakes vary dramatically. In
wetter years they're all true lakes but in drier years some of them may become reduced
to ponds or even grassy meadows. Either way, all of these lakes and many others in
the region provide great opportunities for landscape photography and wildlife watching.
