Sweet...thanks. Thinking about going to Canyon. Does Bartlett have a marina with a restaurant?

IMO Apache is the best... Just a sketchy road though

Bartlett was planning on putting in a Restaurant, but I'm not sure if they did or not. Easiest lake to get to is Saguaro. It's half the size of Bartlett but still good riding. Bartlett can get a bit "zoo-ish" on the weekends, but then again there are only 3 lakes in the metro area and they all get loaded. Pleasant is a haul from Scottsdale and can get blown out when the wind blows. The others have high canyon walls. You can find good water somewhere.

Saguro is the choppiest on a weekend

Thanks to all who posted. We rolled out to Bartlett and it was good. Tons of tower boats and everyone was friendly. It was a good time. Talked to a lady on the phone and she said the restaurant would be open next week and something about a bar???

Jay- I'm relocating to Phoenix in early June and would love to be a third. I have gas money and can drive the boat (I have my own up in Canada) ....
