Nestled near the summit of Mount Graham at over 8,500 feet elevation, Riggs Flat Lake is a cool-weather oasis and one of the Gila Valley’s most beloved high-country escapes. Surrounded by pine forest in the Coronado National Forest, this small alpine lake offers camping, fishing, hiking, and stunning panoramic views of southeastern Arizona. Stocked with trout and managed by the Arizona Game and Fish Department, Riggs Lake is accessible via the Swift Trail Parkway (AZ-366) — a scenic drive that winds from the desert floor to Arizona’s Sky Island summit.
