The closest town, Payson, is 18 miles (29 km) away. Tonto Creek is a stream that flows year round, starting just below the Mogollon Rim, at the northern edge of Tonto National Forest. The creek continues its descent through the Hellsgate Wilderness area and eventually into a wide valley in the Sonoran Desert. It continues through the desert and into the Salt River within the north end of Theodore Roosevelt Lake.[4] The facilities are maintained by Tonto National Forest division of the USDA Forest Service.

Der Tonto Creek ist ein 116,7 km[1] langer Fluss im Mogollon-Rim-Gebiet im Bundesstaat Arizona am Nordrand des Tonto National Forest. Die nächstgelegene Stadt, Payson, ist 29 km entfernt. Der Tonto Creek ist ein ganzjährig fließender Bach, der knapp unterhalb des Mogollon Rim am Nordrand des Tonto National Forest beginnt. Der Bach setzt seinen Abstieg durch das Hellsgate-Wilderness-Gebiet fort und mündet schließlich in ein breites Tal in der Sonora-Wüste. Er fließt weiter durch die Wüste und mündet am Nordende des Theodore Roosevelt Lake in den Salt River.[2]
