About Catron County Fair

Reserve is home to the Catron County Fair, which is a five-day August celebration in the most sparsely populated county in the contiguous United States, serving the remote ranching communities of the Mogollon Rim.

Visitor Tips

Reserve has fewer than 400 residents — the surrounding Gila National Forest, Gila Wilderness (the first designated wilderness in America), and Mogollon ghost town are extraordinary.
