Sunrise Lake is an 804-acre public access point located in the scenic White Mountains of Apache County, Arizona, near Greer and accessible via Highway 260 between Pinetop and Springerville. The lake features a public boat ramp for easy launching of motorized and non-motorized watercraft, making it suitable for kayakers, canoeists, anglers, and recreational boaters. The high elevation keeps water temperatures cool throughout the summer months.
Both electric and gas motors are permitted on the lake, and paddlers will find the lake welcoming to canoes, kayaks, and float tubes. The area is known for being popular with anglers, and the surrounding region offers additional amenities including nearby campgrounds and convenience stores.
