NATIONAL PARK

Tonto National Forest

Scenic roadways in the area include the Apache Trail (SR 88), Beeline Highway (SR 87) and Young Highway (SR 288). Some unpaved roads are very rough, so phone ahead for current road condition updates. Note: The Apache Trail (SR 88) is a winding road and is not suitable for motor homes or vehicle-towing; nearly 25 miles of the road is unpaved.

Six lakes allow boating, swimming and fishing; Saguaro, Bartlett, Canyon, Apache and Theodore Roosevelt lakes have marina facilities. Tubing is a popular pastime in the summer on the lower Salt River. Campgrounds, picnic sites and other recreational opportunities also are available throughout the forest. A map showing roads, recreation sites and tourist services can be obtained from the local Forest Service office for $10.

For further information contact the Forest Supervisor's Office, Tonto National Forest, 2324 E. McDowell Rd., Phoenix, AZ 85006; phone (602) 225-5200.
