Kayaking at Lake Pleasant in Peoria Arizona
Kayaking in the great outdoors in Arizona.
Lake Pleasant, Arizona, USA
I was just headed to the local park to do a flight test, but someone suggested the lake and so we went which was half an hour away.
This time I will be featuring Scorpion Bay in Lake Pleasant, Arizona. A nature park with camping, water sports, fishing, boating, nature viewing, and other activities you can come up with in a lake.
Day entrance fees to the lake are as follows: $6 per vehicle, $15 school bus, $55 commercial bus and is good until 10 pm.
Overnight/Camping Fees differ.
At Scorpion Bay, the shipyard is a short walk down the stairs from the paved parking lot and they also have a tram available to ride for those with disabilities.
If you don't have your own water gear, they offer boat rentals, paddle boards, knee boards, tubes, donuts, and kayaks per hour, 1/2 day, or daily. I was told that jet skis are available to rent at the other side of the bay. As for food, they have a restaurant grill at the center that opens at 11 am.
Personally, I haven't been back here in 9 years and I didn't know what to expect. We weren't prepared to swim, but next time, we'll definitely rent out some gear and go to the small islands at the lake.

Lake Pleasant is a power boater's dream. As the largest lake in the Phoenix and Scottsdale area, load-up all your water recreation toys. You're in for a blast. Its pristine waters cover over 10,000 acres of water surface with 116 miles of shoreline. The average depth is 70- feet and the deepest point of 260 feet is at the dam.
The best part. It is located only 35 miles from downtown Phoenix.
Rev-up that speed boat and let it loose. Strap on those water-skis. Power-up the jet skis. If you prefer the casual pace go sailing. Rent a house boat. Turn-up the music and fire-up the grill. It's party time on Lake Pleasant, Arizona. Just behave yourself, this is a family lake and safety policy is strictly enforced.
Jump-in the kayak and explore the coves. Runabout along the lake shoreline and keep an eye for roaming wild burros. You may catch a glimpse of Arizona Bobcats and nesting Bald Eagles that call Lake Pleasant home. If you feel the urge, hit the shore and do a bit of hiking. -via
Bio/Purpose for This Channel
Born in Pittsburgh, PA , I was surrounded by individuals who chose to simply go through the motions and stick to the norm. From a young age I realized that I wanted to challenge the status quo not by dreaming, but by DOING. So a month after graduating I moved 2,057 miles away from home (if using google maps) to Scottsdale, AZ.
At the beginning of this year (4 years later) I realized my life's passion was to explore the world through hiking adventures and life changing experiences. This is that journey.
