There
are three undeveloped campgrounds along a section of Workman Creek.
A 4 wheel drive vehicle is pretty much a must to continue above
Workman Falls. During Spring and summer, Workman is stocked with
rainbow trout by the AZ Game and Fish Department on a regular
basis. Towards the end of summer the creek tends to dry out and
stocking stops.
The
reason most people come to Workman Creek is to visit Workman
Creek Falls, a 180 foot falls that can be descended with
the proper gear. Workman Creek Falls is best seen just
after a heavy rain as the falls are flowing nicely. Make
sure to bring your camera. There are many excellent photo
opportunities here. Other nearby hikes include the Aztec
Peak Lookout. If the tower is open, there are great views
of Four Peaks and Roosevelt Lake to the west, the Mogollon
Rim to the north, the White Mountains to the east and
the Salt River Valley to the south.
From
Young, travel south on S.R. 288 to Workman Creek Road (F.R. 487)
22.5 miles turn left on F.R. 487 and drive three miles to the
falls. The campgrounds will be spread out along the creek.
From
Roosevelt drive south on S.R. 88 to S.R. 288 then drive
north on S.R. 288 for 22 miles to Workman Creek Road (F.R.
487) turn right and drive 3 miles to the falls. The campgrounds
will be spread out along the creek.
