Built in 1928, Scott Reservoir is an irrigation impoundment on Porter Creek near Pinetop-Lakeside. The least developed of the "in town" lakes, trees surround Scott Reservoir, giving it a secluded feel. Locals know you can catch big catfish at Scott Reservoir in the fall.

Location

Scott Reservoir lies just outside the town limits on the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests. To get there, drive convert|1.4|mi|km north on Porter Mountain Road from Highway 260, then make a right turn across from the Chuck Wagon Steak House. The lake is convert|0.7|mi|km from Porter Mountain Road.

Description

Scott Reservoir has 80 acres with an average depth of convert|10|ft|m, and lies at convert|6720|ft|m. It is usually somewhat turbid, which helps control algae blooms and aquatic weeds. This, coupled with a good perennial stream flowing in, means there are no real water quality problems. The lake is stocked with catchable-sized rainbow trout in spring, early summer and fall, and occasionally stocked with channel catfish. There are a few largemouth bass.

Bass fishing is slow to average at this lake.
