Short Road Trip to Lake Pleasant
Hope everyone had a good weekend!
I spent a good portion of my weekend working on my to do list, which was getting pretty long. I managed to get a good portion of it done, but I did not get everything done. I did some work on the blog, but you will not see many changes. I cleaned up some categories and added a few widgets to help the functionality.
By mid-day Sunday, I was itching to get out of the apartment. After sitting there all weekend, you feel the need to go do something every once in awhile. So I managed to get in a little road trip to…
Lake Pleasant, Arizona
I will start by showing you the picture I managed to take overlooking the lake:
View of Lake Pleasant
Lake Pleasant is about 20 miles northwest of Peoria on State Rt. 74. It is a pretty short drive to escape the city and get your feet wet. When I first arrived, I was surprised at the size of the lake, which is somewhere around 16 square miles. The water has a cool blue hint to it that reminds me of the ocean.
Things To Do
Lake Pleasant offers a lot of different things to do. Some of the things it offers include:
- Boating
- Camping
- Fishing
- Swimming
- Water Skiing
- Wind Surfing
The only thing I did from that list was go swimming but it was sure nice after standing outside in the 100 + degree temperature. There are a lot of places to park your vehicle and get in the water, but some of them are a little rocky. The only thing I was missing was some cold beer and an inflatable pool raft to lounge on. I will definitely remember these the next time I head out to the lake.
Great Place To Spend A Weekend
Overall, it is a nice place to escape the Phoenix heat and take in some different scenery. I plan to go back sometime in the near future, but this time a little better prepared. It would be a great spot to pitch a tent and spend a whole weekend. I would recommend it to anyone in the Phoenix area.
Tune in tomorrow for a few ways to save money to travel!

Gorgeous picture!!
Hi Justin: My first visit here. The photo looks like this is heaven on earth. You say the only thing missing was beer and a raft. Some companionship for the beer or the raft would have helped, No? (Just joking! ). Anyway, I like this blog. Thank you.
