Theodore Roosevelt Lake is the start of the salt river chain of lakes, formed by the Theodore Roosevelt Dam. It is named in honor of the 26th President of the United States and it is Arizona’s largest lake in the state. Located about 80 miles northeast of Phoenix Arizona. Rosie is the largest lake or reservoir located entirely within the state of Arizona. Roosevelt Lake is also the oldest of the six reservoirs (like Canyon Lake, and Saguaro Lake) constructed and operated by the Salt River Project. Theodore Roosevelt Lake (also known as Rosie) has hosted major professional fishing tournaments from FLW Outdoors, Everstart FLW Outdoors events, and Bass Open tournament trails.

Both the lake and dam were named after United States President Teddy Roosevelt who dedicated the dam himself in 1911. At the time, it was the worlds largest manmade lake, and also the worlds tallest masonry dam.

The lake is home to a variety of game fish like largemouth bass and smallmouth bass, crappie, carp, sunfish, flathead and channel catfish.

Lake accommodations feature several marinas, a restaurant, visitors center, general store, wildlife refuge area, and camping.
