About Seneca Lake Recreation Area
A central point of recreational activity is San Carlos Lake. A fisherman’s paradise, it was created by the construction of Coolidge Dam and is rimmed by approximately 158 miles of shoreline with a tackle shop with supplies and ice. The lake averages 19,500-acre feet of water in a good season, making it the largest body of water within Arizona. Talkalai Lake is 600 acres as a constructed reservoir with trophy largemouth bass created by the Blue and San Carlos rivers. Point of Pines Lake is a beautiful high mountain lake stocked with rainbow trout, which is 34 acres in size and is flanked by campgrounds in a ponderosa pine forest. Seneca Lake is managed as both a warm-water and cool water fishery, offering channel catfish and red-ear sunfish for anglers during the summer months and rainbow and brown trout during the cooler winter months. The Black River and Salt River Recreation Areas are a true blessing of the San Carlos Apache Reservation abundant with native species of fish and make spectacular hiking expeditions.
