This lake is easy to get to from town (phoenix). It can crowd up quickly. The only thing that irked me about our stay here is that as we were setting up our tent, and working on getting our spot staked for fishing a group of men came in and took the spot after we all discussed where each group intended to go. There was also a group of nighttime kayakers that talked so loudly on the lake that you could hear them from one end of the lake to the other while everyone was trying to peacefully enjoy some night fishing.
