Coconino Reservoir

Coconino Reservoir is a small five acre lake just south of Ashurst Lake. It offers Sunfish, rainbow trout and Bullhead. It's know to have a very rought road so try and bring a 4 wheel drive or hight clearence vehicle to get to the shore. I've just walked to this lake when I was fishing at Ashurst Lake. Theres a rock hill you can see from the south side of Ashurst Lake and just on the other side of it is Coconino Reservoir.
