This is due to the wide variety of resources which attracted the early Indian inhabitants as well as the tourists of today. The Mogollon Rim Nature Trail identifies and interprets a few of these valuable resources. An excellent view of the valley below the Mogollon Rim is located at a sandstone rock outcrop.

Williams Creek Fish Hatchery - The hatchery is excellent for trout viewing and is very educational. It is open from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. weekdays and is occasionally open on weekends. The hatchery can be reached by going south of Hon-Dah 4 miles on Highway 73, and then turning left 9 miles on good dirt road. Another route would be going 5 miles south on the Hawley Lake Road (Highway 473), then right on upper log dirt road about 10 miles in. There are picnic facilities available. No picnic permit is required.

Big Springs Environmental Study Area - Scenic natural area with self-guided trails. Easy 1/2 mile loop with streams, pond, benches and trail signs. Take a right on Woodland Road at the stop light in Pinetop-Lakeside. The trailhead is 1/2 mile on the left.

Jacques Marsh Wildlife Area - Jacques Marsh is a real treat for someone interested in viewing wildlife. Common visitors are ducks, geese, shorebirds, rabbits, coyote, fox, bobcat, elk and non-game birds to name a few. It is located 2 miles north of Pinetop-Lakeside and consists of 130 acres of National Forest land. Pond areas total 96 acres containing 7 ponds and 18 islands.
