This lake is so wonderful. This is a good area for people who like lakes. Maverick Lake is a lake in the vicinity; there's no such thing as a bad day of skiing at close by Sunrise Park. Not much rain falls here at Tonto Lake; most of the rain falls through August; May meanwhile is the driest month. The Mogollon Rim Mountains scenery is always beautiful.

If you came for an overnight stay Drift Fence Lake Campground is a magnificent site to camp, and don't leave Tonto Lake without first going for a hike along the Sheep Crossing_Baldy Ninetyfour Trail.
