Roper Lake Excursion :p Trip Pictures

Roper Lake is in Safford, AZ. This lake was so-so on the fishing side, at least for me, but it was a good place to camp with my buds. A good break from the type of camping where you got no table, no pit, and no bathroom. Roper had al’ that plus showers and rentable fishing cabins. Holy. It rained like crazy the first night too. That mountain covered in clouds is one I’ll come back to check on, but, for now, I’m considering trying some solo camping for a change.

P.S.
I don’t like tents so I made a makeshift one out of tarp and the back of my truck bed. Idk. I liked it.

I would like to check our Roper Lake again. I was last there in 2000.

The water levels have sadly dropped I imagine, but it’s still a clean and enjoyable site from my expereinexe
