About Tailings Pond Number Three
Tailings Pond Number Three presents a unique seasonal setting in Gila County, Arizona, where open space stretches across 546 acres. Despite its expansive surface, the pond remains extremely shallow, with a maximum depth of zero feet, creating a distinct environment for visitors. The surrounding area near towns like Claypool, Central Heights-Midland City, and Miami offers a quiet backdrop for those seeking a calm outdoor experience. This shallow waterbody shapes the character of the pond, influencing both its accessibility and the types of activities possible throughout the year. Its location in Arizona means the pond does not freeze over, allowing for year-round observation of its natural setting without the seasonal ice changes seen in colder climates.
Fishing Tailings Pond Number Three
Fishing quality at Tailings Pond Number Three is defined by the species present, although no specific fish species are listed for this pond.
