Lake of the Woods is located on Route 260 (White Mountain Blvd.) in the city of Pinetop/Lakeside in the White Mountains. We are approximately 3 to 3 ½ hours northeast of Phoenix and 4 hours from Tucson. Lake of the Woods consists of 26 cabins and 7 condo-style units located on 25 acres, including its own private lake. No fishing license is required. We stock our lake with rainbow trout and there are blue gill, catfish and large mouth bass, too. Our lake is for fishing and boating only and we do not allow people or pets to swim in our lake, though pets are welcome at the resort!
