The East Verde River is a tributary of the Verde River in the U.S. state of Arizona. Beginning on the Mogollon Rim near Washington Park, it flows generally southwest through Gila County and the Tonto National Forest northeast of Phoenix. Near the middle of its course, it passes to within about Script error: No such module "convert". of Payson, which is southeast of the river. The East Verde River flows through parts of the Mazatzal Wilderness west of Payson.[1]
The Salt River Project (SRP) supplements the natural flows on the East Verde River with water pumped from Blue Ridge Reservoir on East Clear Creek in Coconino County. The water travels Script error: No such module "convert". by pipeline to the East Verde at Washington Park, from whence it flows toward the Verde River and the SRP reservoir behind Horseshoe Dam.[2] A significant fraction of the Blue Ridge water release of Script error: No such module "convert". a year is allocated to communities along or near the East Verde River. The U.S. Congress has set aside Script error: No such module "convert". a year for Payson and Script error: No such module "convert". for other northern Gila County communities.[3]
