Tonto Creek is located in the Mogollon Rim area of the state of Arizona on the north edge of the Tonto National Forest. The closest town Payson is 18 miles away. Tonto Creek is a stream that flows year round, starting just below the Mogollon Rim, at the northern edge of Tonto National Forest. The creek continues its descent through the Hellsgate Wilderness area and eventually into a wide valley in the Sonoran Desert. It continues through the desert and into the north end of Theodore Roosevelt Lake.
