Heron flying - Kaibab National Forest

My daughter wanted Dad to take her camping & fishing so I chose White Horse Lake about 1/2 hour south of Williams. Far enough in the backcountry to feel remote, but close enough to civilization if any needs arose.

We took a little excursion to the J D Dam area where I caught this Great Blue Heron.

JD Dam www.fs.fed.us/r3/kai/recreation/fishing/jddam.shtml
JD Dam lies 7 miles from Whitehorse Lake and nearby the Sycamore Point turnoff. Fishing is allowed but there is a strict catch-and-release policy. Facilities are limited to parking, and an outhouse with trash recepticals. All camping must be done outside a 1/4 mile radius of JD Dam.
There is ample opportunity to view wildlife around JD Dam. Also, nearby are the Sycamore Point scenic viewpoint, and Whitehorse Lake campground. Additional information is available at the Visitors Center or Williams Ranger District Office.
