Pacheta Lake, White Mountains of Eastern Arizona.More information:
Pacheta Lake Campground is located 8 miles south of Reservation Lake on Y20 then east on Y55. Rough roads lead into this peaceful place where you won't see much traffic, either on the road or fishing the lake. Be careful when afternoon summer thunderstorms come rolling through, the road can get mucky and be tough to navigate. Permits from the White Mountain Indian Tribe can be obtained at Hon-Dah, Reservation Lake or McNary for both camping and fishing. Permits are required for both activities. For those with an adventure on mind, take the back road to FR 25 via Y70. The back country is pristine and the road is not. Although a reletively smooth ride, not too many people take this dirt road and chances of viewing wildlife are better here than anywhere else. Just don't forget your maps and your GPS, and don't take the road after a rainstorm. The 68 acres of Pacheta Lake are located at 8, 200 feet in elevation. During the week, the lake is quiet, and even on the weekend, there may only be a few locals or the serious weekend angler. After summer monsoons, the access may get muddy. Rainbow, brown, and Apache trout are the most frequent fish catches, with either flies or lures. Some sections of the shore can be quite weedy, so rafts and canoes are recommended.
