Fishing and swimming here since early 1980's. Great channel cats at night, stripes, plenty of bluegill, and bass. Water level can fluctuate dramatically daily. Wake boarding is great. Did a triathlon years ago. Donkeys are everywhere. WATCH OUT FOR RATTLESNAKES AND SCORPIONS. Sunrises are outstanding.

It was a perfect day! 6am, rain, clouds a little yoga the water was perfect for paddle boarding. We went to the very far end where there was a creek flowing into the lake.

Lake pleasant was so pleasant. When we pulled up we walked to the water and immediately bumped into a bunch of wild donkeys. They followed us around the whole night and tried to get involved with our bbq lol. All the other tourists also came over to see the donkeys and it made the experience so fun. I just wish the donkeys came swimming w us.
About Lake Pleasant
Nestled in the serene landscapes and picturesque surroundings, Lake Pleasant lives up to its name by offering a delightful blend of adventure and tranquility. A frequent haunt for anglers, the lake is teeming with channel catfish, bass, and abundant bluegill eager to be caught. The lake’s waters are not just prime for fishing; they also invite visitors to partake in exhilarating activities such as wakeboarding and paddleboarding. By morning light, the lake exudes calm, making it ideal for a bit of yoga or a leisurely swim. Sunrises paint a breathtaking vista over the water, rewarding early risers with stunning views. Beyond the water’s edge, adventurers can embark on scenic hikes or mountain bike trails that lace the surrounding area. With a keen eye, you may encounter the local wildlife, including the charming wild donkeys that have become unofficial ambassadors of the lake. And while the natural beauty and recreational offerings are aplenty, caution about the presence of rattlesnakes and scorpions adds an element of wilderness allure. For those wishing to extend their stay, Lake Pleasant offers camping facilities with all necessary amenities. Campers and day-trippers alike can enjoy the unique floating restaurant, adding a touch of novelty to dining by the lake. Whether it’s a day or a weekend, the friendly community and abundant activities ensure that an escape to Lake Pleasant is nothing short of unforgettable.
