All of the lakes are pretty busy on the weekends, except for Lake Roosevelt, which is about 2.5 hours away from Chandler. The closest lake is about 1 hour away. At least we can ride year round here.
Arizona is a great state for boating, mainly because not many people think there is water in the desert. But actually AZ has the highest boat per capita rate of any state in the country. There are a bunch of small lakes.
