Campers and other recreational vehicles, or RVs, in Mormon Lake, a remote Coconino National Forest hunting, hiking, and fishing village near Arizona's largest natural lake. In particularly parched times, the lake has been known to dry up entirely, leaving behind a remnant marsh

Mormon Lake Village, was developed during wet years, and many homes have docks that are very far from the shoreline. The area's name commemorates Mormon settlers who arrived here in 1878 and founded a dairy, which no longer exists.
