San Carlos Lake was formed by the construction of the Coolidge Dam and is rimmed by 158 miles of shoreline. The lake is located within the 3,000 square-mile San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation, and is thus subject to tribal regulations. A permit is required for all activities along the lake.
San Carlos Lake is seldom full except in unusually wet periods. When former President Coolidge dedicated the new dam in 1930, Cherokee humorist Will Rogers looked at the grass in the lake bed, and said, “If this were my dam, I’d mow it.” [1]
