Blue water and blue sky, what more could a person ask for.
Lake Pleasant is one of the 13 parks in the Maricopa County system. Find the link to the park website HERE. You can use the pull-down menu to explore the Maricopa County Parks and there is also a place where you can make reservations. There is an $8.00 non-refundable reservation fee for online reservations. If you plan to visit the park for a day, you can just drive in and the fee is $7.00 per car. If you want to stay, you will need a reservation. The campsites have electric and water hookups, and a centrally located dump for your sewer and gray water. You must make reservations months in advance however. These campgrounds fill up fast. If you are unable to make reservations because parks are full, you can always pack up your car and spend the day enjoying what the park has to offer.
Coffee time and a little air show between paddles was nice.
This park is at the top or our list of places to visit in Arizona because:
1. There is water for boating and paddle boarding and the dog loves it.
2. It is easily accessible by road.
3. It is not busy. There are lots of people at the park but it's big enough to absorb them.
4. There are lots of things you can do here like hike, bike, run, and play in the water.
5. The campgrounds are clean and quiet and have a great view of the lake.
You will want to add this park to your list of things to do in the Phoenix area.
Those burrs are atrocious! Ouch, ouch, ouch. We were in Phoenix a few days ago and now in Tucson. You should venture down here to Catalina State Park - extremely pretty!
ReplyDeleteOMG!! I think we were there at the same time. We just left Catalina and are in Yuma. I'm about 4 days behind in my posts and I have a few Catalina posts to finish. I've been reading your blog for awhile Barb and I wish we could have met. Do you have plans to visit Yuma?
