Wild Burros at Lake Pleasant

After our Adventure earning Otis's first Badge of Honor last week, we stopped by Lake Pleasant Regional Park in Maricopa County just outside Phoenix. Lake Pleasant is a beautiful lake with a somewhat rocky but abundant shoreline that you can drive right up to. In addition, there are several miles of hiking trails that go as far as Table Mesa area and a well appointed campground. There is also a discovery center that Shows many exhibits about the area.

Lake Pleasant has a Bald Eagle program that allows a nursery in the park for the Bald Eagles to breed and rear their young there. There is also a Bald Eagle cam available to watch on the parks website. (Link below).

There is lots of history at Lake Pleasant and is part of the Agua Fria basin and has been inhabited by many native peoples including Yavapai and Apache Nations and was first inhabited around 700AD.
