River Reservoir South Fishing Site offers a convenient boat ramp access point located near the dam in Greer, Arizona, within the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest. The facility features paved parking areas and a boat ramp suitable for launching kayaks, canoes, and small motorized boats (electric motors or 10 hp or less). This is a non-reservable, day-use facility popular with anglers and paddlers targeting brown trout and rainbow trout.
The reservoir sits at approximately 8,200 feet elevation in the high country and is accessible via AZ Highway 260 between Hon Dah and Springerville, then south on AZ Highway 373. Kayakers and canoeists will find the reservoir ideal for paddling, with float tubes and kayaks particularly well-suited for exploring quieter coves and deeper channels. Shoreline access is generally good, though reeds may limit casting in some areas. Amenities include picnic ramadas and accessible facilities, making this a solid base for a day of paddling and fishing in a scenic mountain setting.
