About San Carlos Lake
San Carlos Lake awaits your visit for a day on the water. Located in eastern Arizona it is an easy one-half hour drive on US Highway 70 from Globe, AZ to the San Carlos Lake turnoff, south at State Highway 170. When full, San Carlos Lake is a 20,000-acre paradise for bass and crappie. Check water levels before heading to San Carlos. The lake is often at low pool, often with quite muddy-water conditions. At most boat launching options 4-wheel drive is recommended for launching when the lake is low as ramps are out of water.
