Information: Luna Lake is a natural body of water that covers approximately 120 acres (0.49 km2) of land. It is located about three miles (5 km) southeast of Alpine, Arizona at the elevation of 7,900 ft (2,400 m).
Luna Lake has the distinction of being part of the San Francisco River, flowing easterly into New Mexico, then south, and west into the Gila River (in Arizona). The headwaters are north of the other main mountain tributary to the Gila, the Blue River of Arizona.
Luna Lake lies at 7,890 feet on the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests, as such the facilities located here are managed by that authority. It is located about 3 miles east of Alpine, just north of U.S. Highway 180. It’s accessible year-round, but ices over in winter months. Ice fishing is usually possible, but always check ice conditions before setting out.
