Additionally, and because of the numerous lakes along the Salt and Verde River system, it provides excellent waterfowl & fishing potential.

Gamefish species in the lakes include largemouth bass, small mouth bass, catfish, & crappie, while rainbow & brown trout are found in the higher elevations along with various other species.
