Pinetop is in Eastern Arizona . It is in Navajo County. The town is surrounded by the largest stand of Ponderosa pines in the world. Sometimes the town of Pinetop is talked about as Pinetop-Lakeside. Actually these are two separate places, but their close proximity has caused the two towns to combine their names. They have even been incorporated into one town. The town is located on State Highway 260, just southeast of Showlow and Lakeside. Pinetop is 185 miles northeast of Phoenix and 140 miles southeast of Flagstaff.
Pinetop is known as a rimmed topped resort community. There are many resorts and cabins located on the edge of the Mogollon Rim, which becomes the perfect haven for those fleeing the summer heat. Today Pinetop's population is 3,340; this is a combination of the total of both Pinetop and Lakeside. The town sits at an elevation of feet 6,400. The climate is cool all year round with a winter low Temperature of 17 degrees and a summer high Temperature of 85 degrees. Pinetop is one of the fastest growing communities in Arizona . Visitors will find numerous lakes, ponderosa pines and western hospitality.
There are several attractions that are near Pinetop that you won't want to pass up. One of the most popular attractions in town is golf. There are three public courses available. The Pinetop Country Club, White Mountain Country Club and the Pinetop Lakes golf and Country Club are all great places to take in the outdoors in a relaxed setting. Gaming is another attraction that is only minutes southeast of town. The Hon-Dah Casino has poker bingo, video blackjack, video poker and keno. There is live entertainment and great restaurants too.
Pinetop is known for its numerous outdoor activities. Rainbow Lake is a couple miles north of town. This 90-acre lake has a boat ramp, camping, restrooms and lots of parking. This lake is private property, so please be respectful. The lake has bass, trout, catfish and bluegill. Bald eagles can sometimes be spotted in the area during the winter months. Woodland Lake Park is a great place to bird watch. The park is located right in Pinetop. The small 28-acre lake has picnic tables, grills, armadas and restrooms. There is also a boat launch available with good fishing. Show Low Lake is only a bit north of town and has a 75-site campground.
This is a terrific family spot with something for everyone. Fishing is popular pastime at this 100-acre lake. Springtime is the best time to try your hand at catching a trout. You will also find shoreline fishing is better here than at most lakes. If water fun is not your interest, don't worry there is more. A 180-mile White Mountain Trail System winds its way throughout the forest surrounding the town.

History:
In 1886, the Mormons came to the area. They decided this was the ideal place to build a sawmill and to establish their settlement. Ranching in the White Mountains also proved to be beneficial. Sheep and cattle raising surrounded the community.
At first, the town was named Penrod. Bill Penrod was an early settler. But the soldiers from Fort Apache, who came to the saloon regularly, kept calling the place Pinetop. The name Pinetop referred to the tall stature of the saloonkeeper named Walt Rigney. After awhile, the name Pinetop stuck.
Later, tourists discovered the area and tourism became the source of income for many in the community. Since there are so many outdoor activities to choose from in and around town, Pinetop soon became the place to go to for a weekend.
The town of Lakeside was located so close to Pinetop that eventually the two merged into one. Even the two town's names combined into one named Pinetop-Lakeside. The two towns incorporated together in 1984. Today the community is a resort town.
