Lake Pleasant is adjacent to Peoria in the West Valley and is one of the closest lakes to most areas in the central, northern, and western parts of the Great Phoenix. It is the second largest lake (reservoir) in Arizona and offers fishing, boat ramps, boat rentals, picnic areas, an RV complex, scenic views, hiking trails, and camping areas. Maricopa County parks offer a variety of workshops, walks, and conferences for all ages. From time to time events or concerts are held, such as the popular 4th of July fireworks celebration.
