Scenic Fishing Activities

Hannagan Meadow is located near the headwaters of 3 Arizona watersheds: the Black, Blue and Little Colorado Rivers.

The area is known for some of the best, most scenic stream fly fishing in Arizona. Several lakes are also accessible in the Hannagan Meadow area. Some locations are easy access, while others require some hiking to get to the river waters. You can learn the art of fly fishing with a lesson or perfect your casting technique with a half or full day guided trip. Let us help!

Our guide, Wendy Krueger, is a legend in the local fly-fishing community here in the White Mountains of Arizona. Her 34 years of teaching and coaching experience give her clients immediate feedback and improvement in their skills. 

Mountain Biking

Love to ride the outdoors? Like the wind in your face and beautiful views? We have mountain biking paradise out our front door at Hannagan Meadow Lodge. Whether you are a novice, or long time single-track rider, there are rides for you here.

We have mountain bike rentals to choose from, or you can bring your own to Hannagan.

Not sure of where to go? We can assist with riding maps, or take a guided ride with one of us. Not so sure about riding uphill at over 9000 feet? We can set you up with rides that allow you to drop down in elevation for most, if not all, of the ride. We then can pick you up at a meeting point and take you and your bike back up to the lodge.

Cross Country Skiing & Snowshoeing

The Lodge is the starting point for incredible backcountry skiing. National Geographic Magazine selected the Lodge as one of the top five back country lodges in the United States with a full line of skis and boots available for rent. Snowshoes are also available for rent at the Nordic center.

More than 26 kilometers of groomed and/or marked trails leave right from the Lodge, offering opportunities to skiers of all levels. 

Also, consider sledding and tubing! The main sledding and tubing hill in the entire area is located right behind the main building and open to guests of the lodge and the general public without fee. Tubes and sleds are available through the lodge’s General Store.
