Recreation

The Town of Springerville is nestled in the valley surrounded by the beautiful Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest of eastern Arizona. Springerville is known for its 4 seasons. “The Gateway to the White Mountains”, Springerville was founded in 1879 and sits at an elevation of 6,968 feet. Springerville has a year-round estimated population of 1980, although this increases with the arrival of summer visitors. Springerville is located 220 miles Northeast of downtown Phoenix and only 14 miles from the New Mexico Stateline. 

Endless outdoor adventures, rich local history, and cool mountain temps are just a few reasons Springerville is the perfect community to visit or reside in. Sunrise Ski Park, a premier mountain retreat for both summer and winter visitors is less than 30 miles from Springerville. Warm spring weather allows biking, hiking, fishing, and camping while the beautiful high country autumn offers the opportunity for bird watching, sightseeing, and hunting.
