Pinetop Lakeside Arizona

Pinetop-Lakeside located in the scenic White Mountains of Arizona. Camping, hunting, fishing, trails and winter skiing bring activities year round to this resort community.

Founded in the early 1880's by Mormon pioneers, Lakeside derived its name from the area's lakes, and Pinetop derived its name from the nickname of a saloon keeper who served the Fort Apache soldiers.
The two communities incorporated as one town in 1984. Pinetop-Lakeside, at an elevation of 7,200 feet, is known for its extensive tourism and recreational activities, proximity to the world's largest stand of Ponderosa pine, and for an outstanding quality of life.
