Lee Valley Lake

Lee Valley Lake is Arizona's highest elevation reservoir,situated at 9,420 feet (2,870 m) in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest near Mount Baldy. Access is restricted in the winter when roads are closed due to snow, generally December to early April.
Description
Lee Valley Lake has 35 acres (14 ha) with a maximum depth of 20 feet (6.1 m) and an average depth of 10 feet (3.0 m). It's located on Lee Valley Creek, an Apache trout recovery stream. The Apache trout is the Arizona state fish. The creek naturally flows into the East Fork of the Little Colorado River; however, the spillway directs overflow to the West Fork of the Little Colorado River. Both streams are also designated for Apache trout recovery, thus Lee Valley Lake finds itself at the heart of three Apache trout recovery streams and is managed accordingly.
