It is regarded as the best fishing lake in these mountains and offers anglers numerous opportunities to catch native fish species to Arizona. The bulk of the fish species in Big Lake, which has an average depth of nine meters, are trout. Although the lake is open from April to December, the finest fishing months are April and May.

Huge Lake isn't quite as "big" as the other lakes on this list, but it's still big enough for boating at 575 acres. Best mountain landscape in Arizona can be seen in the nearby places, which also provide excellent camping options. Big Lake is a fantastic place for fishermen and anyone who utilize small watercraft because there are several nearby smaller lakes.

Around the lake, there are more than 200 camping sites, as well as picnic tables, showers, and restrooms. One of the lake's two ramps allows access to boats, however 10 horsepower is the maximum allowed for motors.

About 42 kilometers south of the cities of Springerville and Eagar, Big Lake is located in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests. The lake cannot be accessed during the winter, it should be mentioned.
