The
Lewis Canyon Group Campground comes packed with
things to do for larger groups. Unfortunately, it sits
dead smack in the middle of where the Rodeo-Chedeski fire
ran its course in the summer of 2002. The trees inside
the main loop are still green but outside of the loop,
most of the trees were burned during the fire. With a
little time this campground should make a nice recovery.
Amenities
at Lewis Canyon are:
A
large baseball diamond complete with backstop
2
horseshoe pits
4
large BBQ grills (group size)
Dumpsters
There
are several trails leading into the surrounding forest including
a 14 mile (trail #640) and 7 mile trail. Both are limited
to horses, non-motorized vehicles, mountain bikes and hikers.
Reservations must be made at least 4 days in advance by
calling (928) 368-5111.
