Waterskiing

• All Tonto National Forest reservoirs (with the exception of Horseshoe Reservoir) are open to water-skiing.
• Saguaro and Canyon Lakes are the most popular and both are very busy during the warmer months.
• As a result of the heavy use, Bartlett, Saguaro, and Canyon lakes are limited in the number of boats allowed on them. On summer weekends, consider arriving early in the day to secure your spot.
• Theodore Roosevelt is the largest of the Tonto’s reservoirs; therefore, the capacity is higher and it is reached only on holiday weekends. Consider driving a little farther and discover the many miles of shoreline at Theodore Roosevelt Lake.
• Many coves are ‘No-Wake’ areas. Please obey these areas marked by buoys.
• Arizona boating laws are in effect.
