Red Rabbit Report post Posted May 12, 2009 South of Williams off the Perkinsville Road would be nice. Trout fishing at Dogtown, JD, or Whitehorse. Plenty of NF to camp in the pines away from a campground. Sedona and Cottonwood will be warm/hot during the day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king4wd Report post Posted May 12, 2009 South of Prescott in the pines. Must camp in a campground or dispersed campsite. Plenty of them out Senator Highway or Walker Rd . Fishing at lynx lake or goldwater lake http://www.fs.fed.us/r3/prescott/recreatio...ohv/index.shtml Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EBB Report post Posted May 14, 2009 There's elk wandering around all over that unit. I'd camp around White Horse Lake or Dogtown. Drive it early and late and you'll get a pretty good feel. Course it'll be different when the season rolls around. EBB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Course it'll be different when the season rolls around. EBB Ya, I know it will be different as far as where elk are located but getting a good lay of the land would be nice too. My girlfriend and I have the weekend off which is rare and decided to go do something. We were thinking magic mountain, something like that but then told me to decide HAHAHA SO I told her lets go camping as I had not been in awhile. She laughed and said sounds great!! I told her the area and she said that is pretty and then she caught on on what I was doing. LOL We will have ablast. If anyone wants to come out, show me around, or hang out let me know. We will probably do what EBB suggested and go up around white horse lake or dogtown. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are not many places to shoot and I suggest not doing so. The area around Whitehorse is extremely popular for campers, day use, fisherman, basically there are a lot of people around on weekends, plus being the last weekend of turkey season there will be even more people out there (including me)...
