Michael Gawley:
Drove past lake on the way to Show low not knowing it was there.  All we saw was an old trading post and some buildings.  We decided to see what the buildings were and stumbled upon the lake.  It looks like a great lake to fish.  There were many group and individual camping sites but while driving around the lake I got this feeling like we were in the beginning of a horror movie.  With the dilapidated gas station, restaurant, and cabins.



Lou:
Was at seneca this weekend 05/22,23/09 fishing was good caught trout and bass. The bathrooms are pretty much trashed your better off finding a big bush to use. Use precautions when camping a bear was sited in the camp next to ours.



Erik Avent:
I'm planning on going up There and take some pictures this weekend. I used to fish for trout here years ago.



Trisha Reid:
We were just there this weekend and it was amazing. It is sad to see what has happened and how run down and damaged everything is. The camp ground is huge! Would love to stay there, just not sure who to contact in doing so!



Victor Caratachea:
We have driven past this lake time and time again and today we just had to stop and see what was there. we were amazed at the beauty and sadened by the damage that was done to such a beutiful lodge and cabins. why hasnt anyone restored this back to its original beauty? I would love to build this back to its original form and offer such charming experience back to the public. This could be such a thriving lodge and camp grounds. I would love the chance! Thank you.



Linda Petty:
needs alot of work, no working bathrooms, obscene writings everywhere. It's a shame because the lake was pretty and quite. we saw two deers while we were there.

     Seneca Lake is usually a reasonably dried up place; August is the month that gets the most rain; the driest month is June. The Mogollon Rim Mountains scenery is always beautiful. After a long day outdoors Americas Best Value Inn Globe/Miami is a glorious place to spend a night or two, and I S Hole is a wonderful site to explore.

   Number Four next to Seneca Lake, it's a wonderful lake, and Mule Hoof Campground is a fine local campground.

That right there is a lot already, but it keeps on going; Seneca Lake has it all. Seneca Lake Dam is a place that is close to Seneca Lake.

Salt River
16 miles away
Most of this river runs through the White Mountain Apache Indian Reservation. (... ) It is very important because you MUST buy a permit from the tribe to run this river. This river is navigable only from March-May, and very occasionally they will open it again for August. It is only to be run by experienced river runners, due to the big rapids which go up to Class IV. If you don't know whether you are an experienced river runner, then you don't belong there. There are commercial companies who will take you on a rafting trip for about $130. It's a lot of fun, it's an all-day trip, includes a good lunch. This is what I would recommend for the tourist. Some of the companies that run trips are raftthesalt. Com, Canyon Rio, In A Raft, Wilderness Aware Rafting. Again, this is only in March and April, sometimes into May.

You can't enter this property or drive the dirt road along the river without a permit. You can't camp or fish without a permit. The tribe will give you a ticket and might also confiscate your gear! You need to get a permit!
