The Rainbow Lake Conservation Company is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization formed to help provide funds for the restoration of Rainbow Lake in Lakeside, Arizona.

A brief history:

Rainbow Lake was formed in 1903. An earthen dam blocked Walnut Creek to form the 110 acre lake. Its original purpose was to provide water for agriculture in the White Mountains. Over the last 120 years, the lake has evolved into a sport fishing lake, a habitat for all sorts of wildlife including bald and golden eagles, and a beautiful area for local owners and visitors to enjoy.

Our initial fundraising campaign was a huge success, exceeding our goal of $500,000. We funded our first large project...replacing 1600 feet of ditches with 24" underground pipe. Eliminating seepage, evaporation, and theft reduced the amount of water needed from Rainbow Lake for irrigation by over 50%

Our next large project is replacing the 120 year old headgate. It is so corroded that it can no longer be fully closed and water flows out of Rainbow Lake continuously, not just in the irrigation season. We need to raise another $500,000.

Please make a tax-deductible donation to help restore Rainbow Lake. Any amount will help and will be sincerely appreciated.
