Mormon Lake is a snowkite spot at 2,165m elevation, on Arizona's largest natural lake. This shallow lake freezes completely in winter, offering a vast flat surface perfect for snowkiting. Located in the Coconino National Forest south of Flagstaff, the site benefits from prevailing southwest winds channeled by the Mogollon Rim. Season runs from December to March. The village of Mormon Lake provides basic services nearby.
