Bartlett Lake. This lake is a great place to enjoy a hole weekend or just a day and is the second largest lake in the Phoenix area (behind Lake Pleasant).

Watersport enthusiasts enjoy swimming, boating and jet skiing. Nature and outdoor fans opt for shoreline camping in Arizona's natural desert terrain. You may see deer, bald eagles, javelina, coyotes in this beautiful desert mountain setting.

Personal note: I am not a friend of noisy jet skies,... but this beautiful lake is to share with all outdoor fans - of course. For me it's a great place to enjoy camping, short hikes and a stunning view at the stars at night.
