AREA INFO & HISTORY

Discover the Rim Lakes


Popular Rim-area lakes attract peak visitation during the summer months, when desert visitors head to cool elevations above 7,000 feet. Woods Canyon Lake sits on top of the rim and features a scenic hiking and mountain biking loop trail, Rim Lake Vista Trail, accessed off Forest Road 300. Bear Canyon Lake (pictured above) is another popular destination along Rim Road, and Willow Springs Lake can be accessed east of Payson via Highway 260. Most forest service roads leading to Payson-area lakes are closed in the winter and open after the snow melts and roads firm up in spring (which should be very soon).

A NEW TOOL TO REDUCE WILDFIRE RISK FROM APS
 

Starting May 2024, we're adding a new way to protect you from wildfire, to be used only during extreme fire risk conditions. It's called Public Safety Power Shutoff.

 

In these conditions, we may shut off power to your area to prevent the electric system from starting or contributing to a wildfire through a downed wire or inadvertent spark. This can include periods of high winds, which can cause trees to contact lines and start a wildfire.

The decision to call a safety shutoff is based on several factors that impact the potential for fire and how fast a fire might grow in the area, such as:
