Concho Lake is an irrigation reservoir situated in the town of Concho, in the eastern Arizona grasslands at 6300feet.

Description

Concho Lake is a small, shallow, weedy lake. It has 60acres with a maximum depth of 16feet and an average depth of 6feet. A small watershed and nearby spring feed the lake. Following current management plans, the Arizona Game and Fish stocks catchable-sized rainbow trout during spring months. Green sunfish and an occasional largemouth bass also occur at this lake. The lake gets drawn down considerably in the summer for irrigation.
