FIRE BAN CURRENTLY IN PLACE...
The fire ban includes the use of campfires, fire pits and charcoal grills; however, it is still acceptable to use gas/propane grills in designated areas such as the ramada areas, semi-developed and developed camping sites and along the shoreline at Lake Pleasant Regional Park. If necessary, additional details will be posted on park specific pages under the "Alert" section in the upper right hand corner of the page.
A date to lift the fire ban has not been identified and will be determined by the amount of rain
Maricopa County receives during the monsoon season.

Pleasant Paddlers Program - Early Easter Egg Paddle
Lake Pleasant Regional Park
If you have a kayak, canoe, or stand up paddleboard, come on out for a fun time paddling to one of the islands and hunting easter eggs! All ages welcome as long as you have your own paddlecraft and PFD. You must wear a PFD (life vest) when on the water during this program. We will launch from Fireman's Cove at the north end of Lake Pleasant (the large cove before you get to the 4 - lane boat ramp). Bring a bag and a smile, you will surely have fun on this crazy hunt. There will be some fun prizes for finding "special" eggs. This paddle will be around four miles and include the fun stop at "Easter Island." We leave the shore at 3PM, so come early to get your boat on the water. I will need several people to volunteer to help hide the eggs, we meet at Noon. Call me if you can come early and helpout.
