Sky Island junkie Report post Posted June 11, 2022 I’d do Apache. Probably fewer tards willing to drive the dirt road to get there. During the week has always been my favorite time to go 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twistzz Report post Posted June 11, 2022 Roosevelt no brainer lots of water less traffic everywhere have fun you can find a beach set up some shade and fish off the beach if you want to. Stay at the resort if it’s a long day or camp at the beach. Fantastic memories for the kids!! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NOTAGS Report post Posted June 11, 2022 Pleasant is a Shiite show, Apache was my favorite when I had skis, we camped on the back side of the lake . Could find shade in the mesquites. Not a big water ski etc. lake, so we were usually the only jet ski punks on it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roosevelt Mark Report post Posted June 11, 2022 I surprisingly agree with everyone on this thread, thats a 1st. Like they said. If you go to apache launch at 3 mile, nice little beach there and also strait across is a nice spot. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mbiewer Report post Posted June 13, 2022 My go to was always canyon before i got a power boat. anoe and kayaking canyon is nice. Bought a pontoon, and saguaro is 15 minutes from them. Saguaro has crap for parking, so get there early and the ramps suck in general. Canyon has better ramps but less "open" area for jet skis and towing the tube. Haven't been, but Bartlet is supposed to be the siaze of canyon and saguaro combined. Hopefully thats our next stop. I'd run up the hill to Roosevelt or Apache if diesel wasnt the cost of a mrotgage.

NOTAGS Report post Posted June 15, 2022 Barlett is considerably smaller and narrower than Saguaro. Not a good skiing lake, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roosevelt Mark Report post Posted June 16, 2022 We launched my buddys new house boat at canyon yesterday, lots of green water but I did not see any dead fish. It might be at the end of the Blume. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roosevelt Mark Report post Posted June 16, 2022 Just a heads up, launching another one some time in the morning depending on DPS shutting the road down. Yesterday they were 3 hrs late so expect a delay at any time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
