Young is nestled in the northeastern portion of the Tonto National Forest, halfway between
the Mogollon Rim and Roosevelt Lake. The town is situated between Sierra Anchas and
Hell's Gate wilderness areas, and there are many archaeological and historic sites in the area.
In front ahead It that a Roosevelt Lake. Yes, captain we are about 4 miles from the lake
Captian. This what i found....Roosevelt Lake is located in central Arizona almost entirely within Gila County
although a small portion lies in Maricopa County. Located about 4 miles (6 km) upstream from Apache Lake
(the next SRP reservoir on the Salt River), Roosevelt Lake occupies about 10 miles (16 km) of the original
Salt River riverbed and also extends for about 8 miles (13 km) up Tonto Creek, a significant tributary of the Salt with its headwaters along the Mogollon Rim.
The lake covers much of the southern portion of the Tonto Basin, a low lying area between the Sierra Ancha Mountains,
Mazatzal Mountains (including Four Peaks), and the Superstition Mountains. State Route 188 travels along the shore of the lake for much of its length.
Tonto National Monument is located 4 miles (6 km) from Roosevelt Dam, parts of the monument provide views of much of the reservoir.
