Review:

Wheatfields Lake is located near the town of Tsaile, Arizona adjacent to the eastern side of Canyon de Chelly National Monument, and is one of the Navajo Nation region’s most popular outdoor recreation spots.

The Apache County lake is managed as a significant coldwater fishery, offering opportunities to fish for cutthroat, brown, and rainbow trout. Fishing spots are offered along the lake’s access road, with boat launch opportunities available along the opposite side of the lake from the road.

Picnicking is also a popular day-use activity, and several campsites are offered nearby, including the Wheatfields Lake Campground located between mile markers 64 and 65 along Indian Route 12.
