CC Cragin
Blue Ridge Reservoir

Welcome to
Blue Ridge Reservoir

This slender and twisting waterway resembles a river confined within a canyon rather than a typical lake. It’s important to note that this is a canyon lake, which implies that there’s limited shoreline access throughout the reservoir. The steep canyon walls that form the reservoir offer no sandy beaches like those found in conventional lakes, which makes this destination primarily suitable for kayaking, canoeing, and fishing enthusiasts.

More formally known as C.C. Cragin Reservoir, Blue Ridge is located on the Mogollon Rim, an elevated region in central Arizona. Additionally, the area has remote mountain biking and hiking trails and secluded camping spots, all of which are ideal for campers who want to ditch the main thoroughfares for a quiet forest road.
