About San Carlos Reservoir

San Carlos Reservoir is a spacious body of water spanning over thirteen thousand acres across Gila, Graham, and Pinal counties in Arizona. Its vast surface area offers plenty of room for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy the natural surroundings. Although the reservoir is notably shallow, with a maximum depth recorded at zero feet, it still provides a unique environment for visitors seeking a quiet and expansive water experience. Situated near the town of Peridot, this reservoir invites exploration throughout the year. The shallow nature of the water means it warms quickly in the warmer months, creating a lively setting for various water activities. The extensive size of the lake allows for a sense of openness and tranquility uncommon in smaller bodies of water.
