SWDesertRat Report post Posted July 13, 2016 No, Tule is north of Lake Pleasant. But Game and Fish has closed it just like this drainage just ne of yellow jacket. Tule has been fenced to exclude cattle (mainly burros) for 20 years. It's BLM land, not Game and Fish. Cool spot to visit once you get past China Dam. Any area around pleasant without a fence gets blown out by the burros. You can still get into Tule, has an access gate for you and the critters. Sorry to OP for derail but wanted to state the facts... Facts? No, AZGFD has closed the road and gated it at the homestead and it is locked. In the last 15 years I have never seen it unlocked. Of course it's BLM, duh. The road used to take you past the springs and to the road to Tiptop. There is no 'critter' gate and there's a 4'x6' azgfd sign saying those are designated riparian lands same as the drainage near Yellow Jacket. And no, there are no gates for people or their critters. If there were a critter gate, how is the fence going to keep out burros and cattle? Those are the facts.image025.jpg Sheesh Tim, wasn't trying to start a fight. I guess my memory about the critter gate was confused with another area. Clearly you've spent more time in there and know the facts better than I do. I'll go back to my corner now that I've been properly schooled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry guy, I'm the schooled one.Wish there was a gate for us to get our animals to the springs and on up the mountain. It's like this new fence near Yellow Jacket, AZGFD puts in a gate for them selves and no human or animal gates for us, we're just screwed out of more and more 'public land' and I don't see the government even asking for any of us little peoples comments. Pretty sure they dredge that pool at the campsite every few years. Hopefully that's all they're gearing up to do. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MathewQuigly Report post Posted July 13, 2016 Anyways Yellow Jacket has fond memories. It was the last place in the 90s for a family reunion that most of my aunts and uncles were at. All lot have passed since then but when I see the place I can still remember the fun and love that was abundant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
