Tunnel Reservoir - Greer, AZ

Tunnel Reservoir, located just outside Greer in Arizona’s White Mountains, is a scenic and productive trout fishery set at over 8,000 feet in elevation. This 45-acre lake is fed by a diversion tunnel from the West Fork of the Little Colorado River and offers a cool, quiet escape for anglers seeking trout in a pristine alpine setting.

The lake is stocked regularly with rainbow trout from spring through fall, and a small population of brown trout adds variety. Most anglers fish from shore or use float tubes, canoes, or small electric-motor boats to reach the middle of the lake. Sight-fishing can be effective here on calm, clear days.

Standard trout baits like PowerBait and worms are popular, and fly anglers do well with dry flies or streamers depending on season and conditions. The lake's remote beauty and peaceful surroundings make it a favorite summer getaway.

Facilities are minimal—there are vault toilets but no developed campgrounds—so visitors should plan ahead. A valid Arizona fishing license is required, and standard bag limits apply unless posted otherwise.

Tunnel Reservoir offers dependable trout fishing in a cool, high-country environment. It's ideal for those looking to beat the summer heat and spend a relaxing day in one of Arizona’s most beautiful mountain fisheries.
