It seems that there are over a thousand lakes in Arizona, but only FIVE natural lakes. Potato Lake is not one of these. The natural lakes are Mormon Lake, Stoneman Lake, Ashurst Lake, Kinnikinick Lake, and Upper Mary Lake. They are all located in the Coconino National Forest, just a little north of Potato Lake.
We rode Roadrunner and Wily E on a beautiful mountain dirt road on the Mogollon Rim to Potato Lake.
But the question remains…..why is it called Potato Lake? All we could come up with was because it is shaped like a potato and is the same color as a potato.
That’s good enough for us. In honor of beautiful little Potato Lake, we going to have potatoes for dinner tonight!
