The Horse Mesa Dam is a concrete thin arch dam located Northeast of Phoenix, Arizona. The dam is 660 feet (200 m) long, and 300 feet (91 m) high, built between 1924 and 27. The barrier includes a 32-megawatt (MW) hydroelectric generating unit. The dam forms Apache Lake as it slows the passage of the Salt River.<\/p>

With more than 88 miles of shoreline, Roosevelt Lake is the largest body of water in central Arizona. In 1911, it was the largest man-made lake in the world. During winter months, the lake is alive with migratory foul, eagles and osprey. In summer, the lake is a popular destination for water play, watercraft, anglers, campers and picnicking.<\/p>

Bartlett Lake is located only 48 miles from downtown Phoenix and 17 miles northeast of Carefree. Bartlett Lake Marina has a boatable surface area of 2,815 acres – more than Canyon Lake and Saguaro Lake combined. Fed by the pristine waters of the Verde River, Indians of this valley spoke descriptively in their legends of the river’s “sweet waters.”<\/p>

Lyman Lake is one of the few bodies of water in northeastern Arizona with no size restrictions on boats. The west end of the lake is buoyed off and restricted as a no-wake area (5 mph). This allows the angler a chance at various fish without the proximity of speedboats and water skiers. The fishery consists of walleye, channel catfish, and largemouth bass. The large remainder of the lake is open for other water sports.<\/p>
