About Roosevelt Lake

Roosevelt Lake awaits your visit for a day on the water. Having fished this lake for over five decades, I can assure you there are bass to be caught somewhere on the lake virtually any time of the day, year round. Roosevelt Lake is the head lake in a chain of 4 lakes, and collects fresh water from the Salt River and Tonto Creek. The Roosevelt Lake Marina offers fishing boat rentals and fishing supplies.

Located in Central Arizona at the convergence of the Salt River and Tonto Creek, Roosevelt Lake is the head lake in a chain of 4 lakes. These lakes provide water to the Phoenix metropolitan area. The lake is accessed via State Highway 188 northeast from Globe and Miami at the town of Roosevelt, AZ. Lake Roosevelt is over 22,000 surface acres when full and is 23 miles long. Numerous campgrounds with boat launch facilities are located along the southwestern shore of the lake.
