About 10 miles of the original river are now beneath the waters, and in the other direction one of its major tributaries, Tonto Creek, is flooded for about 8 miles although the lake level and hence the overall length is quite variable.
Roosevelt Lake is a major center for fishing, boating, camping and general vacationing, and despite being quite close to Phoenix, the shortest route is via the unpaved Apache Trail, so the number of visitors is rather less than for some other water-based recreational sites in the Tonto National Forest with easier access such as Lake Pleasant and Saguaro Lake.
A visitor can expect sweltering summer temperatures to regularly exceed 100 degrees. In common with other lakes in the Phoenix area, summer water temperatures of Theodore Roosevelt Lake can exceed 90 degrees F, but cooling afternoon thunderstorms are common. And winter temperatures may drop below freezing.
