The 24 miles of Blue Lake is at 4,200 feet elevation. The roads down into the Blue River canyons provide excellent views of eastern Arizona beauty. At the bottom lies the community of "Blue," which still has a post office and a few ranches. Only a good snowmelt and runoff provide the Blue River with its water flow.

Anglers may find some trout in the upper reaches, but past Blue Box there may be just a few catfish in the pools. Campers can set up at two established sites, Upper Blue or Blue Crossing, or at the primitive grounds at the end of forest road 281.
