Gassing up the truck in Jake's CornerFrom Payson, I backtracked a bit towards Phoenix and went south on Hwy. 188 into the Tonto Basin and towards Roosevelt Lake. Roosevelt Lake is a man-made reservoir formed by the damming of the upper Salt River. Tonto Basin drains the Tonto Creek area which originates near the Mogollon Rim. Roosevelt Lake consists of the lower Tonto Basin and the upper Salt River Basin.

I bet there's some good bass fishing in there

I guess this is like Jericho and the pics were taken after all the bombs went off?
Was there a dam guide?
Tom - I didn't see a dam guide, but I did see some dam tourists.
