80
acres. Elev. 6,800 ft. One block south of Arizona 260, using either Rainbow
Lake Road or Lake View Road. Much of the area surrounding Rainbow Lake is
private property, so respect other's boundaries. Much of the shoreline is
weedy; a boat is almost a necessity, except for the rocky areas where it's
possible to set up a perch on the slabs. Try shore fishing off the north or
west ends. A new boat ramp, car-top boat launching area, courtesy dock,
restrooms, and a parking area have been recently added. The lake is a
popular fishing hole for bass, trout, catfish, and bluegill. During the
winter, bald eagles are common around the lake. Camp-grounds in the area
usually are full in summer; best bets for beds are in motels, but campsites
are available at Show Low Lake or Fool Hollow Lake.
