Upper Salt Ground Tank is a reservoir in Greenlee County, Arizona and covers about 0.5 acres, reaches about 7.2 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 1.6 acre-feet.
The small size of Upper Salt Ground Tank makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle. With little deep water in Upper Salt Ground Tank, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.
