Imagine camping among 100-foot pine trees beside a quiet lake watching majestic great blue herons at a cool 6,300 ft. in elevation. Year-round camping, fishing, picnicking, boating, and wildlife viewing opportunities make Fool Hollow Lake Recreation Area a very popular place. Fool Hollow is located within National Forest Lands on the Lakeside Ranger District near the City of Show Low, Arizona. The Fool Hollow Recreation Area has a 149-acre lake.

Show Low Creek flows into Fool Hollow Lake, providing a natural feeding ground for a variety of wildlife and a very diverse fishery. Fishing opportunities are abundant with rainbow trout, brown trout, large and small mouth bass, black crappie, green sunfish, channel catfish, and walleye all present in the lake. Catch able sized rainbow trout are stocked by the Arizona Game and Fish Department mid-May through September.

The nearby White Mountain Trail System offers eleven loop trails with over 103 miles of hiking in the adjacent Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest. Trail maps are available at the park headquarters.

The park is located two miles north of US 60 off Highway 260 in Show Low.
