Learn more about alerts →Anglers targeting walleye, bass, or catfish during the June-August peak will find the boat launch, stocked lake, and lakeside sites hard to beat. Cabin campers who want AC and hookups without tent hassle should ask for an outer-loop site with water views.
No potable water on-site right now, so anyone not packing all their own drinking water is in for a rough trip. The remoteness (11 miles from St. Johns) plus spotty cell signal also rules this out if you need reliable connectivity or easy resupply.
Context for the broader area surrounding Walleye Campground, sourced from the federal Recreation.gov rec-area record.
Mittry Lake Wildlife Area lies in and adjacent to the floodplain of the Colorado River between <A HREF="https://www.usbr.gov/projects/index.php?id=297">Laguna</a> and <A HREF="https://www.usbr.gov/projects/index.php?id=150">Imperial Dams</a>. Mittry Lake covers approximately 750 acres, with much of the shoreline covered with cattails and bullrush. Mittry Lake has recently undergone rehabilitation work including marsh dredging, revegetation and fish habitat improvement, making it an ideal location for small game hunting and sportfishing. Major species for small game hunting include waterfowl, doves, quail, rabbit and raccoon. Major species of fish in the lake include largemouth bass, channel catfish, flathead catfish, crappie, and bluegill. There are no camping facilities and the area is for day use only. However there is a 3-lane boat launch ramp for motorized boating on the lake. The area is also very popular for nature study and birdwatching. <A HREF="http://www.blm.gov/az/st/en/prog/recreation/watchable/mittry.html"> More information. </a>
Laguna Dam is approximately 18 miles northeast of Yuma, Arizona.

Summer brings the warmest water and fullest lake activity. Daytime highs run 75-90°F with cool nights in the mid-40s to low-60s. Late June through August is peak walleye season and the busiest time at boat ramps and beaches. Afternoon monsoon thunderstorms roll through mid-July to September. Early mornings and weekdays stay quieter even during peak summer. Spring and fall offer comfortable temperatures in the 80s to low 90s for fishing, swimming, and hiking. Winter is the park's solitary season with occasional snow dusting the hills and colder nights, but gates stay open year-round.
Warmest water, peak walleye season and fullest lake activity occur in summer.
