Heidi & I spent a very nice day at Lake Pleasant, AZ. Lake Pleasant is the largest lake in the Greater Phoenix area located about 30 miles north of Phoenix within the city limits of Peoria, a Phoenix suburb. The lake features over 50 miles of shoreline with 10,000 acres of crystal clear water fed primarily from the Agua Fria River. Who said that the desert had to be dry? This is no mirage!
The lake was originally created in the 1920s with the building of the "Carl" Pleasant Dam which was later renamed as Waddel Dam. A new larger dam was constructed in 1992 which tripled the size of the lake. The original dam now lies under 100 feet of water.
Lake Pleasant is a water-lover's and boating enthusiast's paradise that includes camping, boating, house boating, sailing, water skiing, jet skiing and fishing.
