Gotta Go? Gotta Go Right Now?! Here's the Place To GO!

Fool Hollow LakeIn addition to the absolutely spectacular lake and hiking areas at Fool Hollow Lake Recreation Area here in Show Low, Arizona - I discovered one of the nicest bathrooms in a public area that I have ever seen. E V E R! Don't get me wrong, not all public bathrooms are poorly maintained - oh, who am I kidding - I can't stand public bathrooms. Most of the time, they're gross, disgusting and just want to make me "hold it a little longer".

So - when we came across this great place to take some pictures, we, of course, had to stop by the facilities. WOW - I was shocked. Fool Hollow Lake Recreation Area has the cleanest, most well maintained facilities I have ever seen. I might even venture to say cleaner than my own. (YIKES!).

To make it even better - the buildings each had three separate rooms (not stalls - ROOMS).

  • There was the nice, clean bathroom that was completely tiled with a "normal" working toilet and sink with running water.
  • The next little room is a private shower room. Same sterile environment and just as beautiful!
  • The third room was another facility - for families with young children.

AWESOME! Even my husband commented on the cleanliness. Which is amazing, because just a couple hours prior, we were introduced to "recyling toilets" (Not a pretty thing).

If you're ever out and about any place between Payson and Globe - the trip along Hwy 260 is worth your time. Fool Hollow Lake Rec area has 123 campsites, fishing, hiking, boat ramps, picnic tables and playgrounds. Very family friendly and open 365 days a year! It's scenic, enjoyable ... and obviously, now has great bathrooms!

Calie, You are so much fun. I've just decided that you are the only person I know who can turn anything into a great post. But, you are right, fabulous "facilities" don't abound. Thanks for pointing the way for those of us who would like to visit the Show Low area and need a place to go.

Yvonne - I knew I'd be hearing from you.  LOL - can you think of anything more fun to blog about than the sheer appreciation of a clean facility?  What is this world coming to? - Calie

Calie, I can't abide dirty facilities either.  I will hold it until I find a more presentable place.  However, from Calgary to Show Low is a tad far for my bladder.  I think I single handedly started the public washroom new service of placing a garbage can by the door - to collect my paper towels.  I mean how long can you wait for someone to come in so you don't have to touch the door handle going out.  LOL  Betty
