Lake?

I am thinking of going to the lake for a few hours today. But I have a question. I know at Bartlett and Plesent Lake u can pull your truck right up to the water. But can u do this at Canyon or Saguaro (sp)? I have never been to either of these lakes, but now I live on the east side and the are closer to me. Any imput would be cool.

Thanks.

 

Ha now that is funny. I am in Chandler, AZ. I know what lakes are here and around me. I just havent been to all of them so I am not sure what lakes you can back your truck up to the water. From what I have heard I think there are a couple you have to park in a parking lot and drag all your crap down to the water.

 

WOW! 192 pages.

 

.... and the fact that this was posted in the AZ regionals didn't give you a clue??

 

So if I come in at Butcher Jones would I need 4x4? I only have a Prerunner.

 

Or that all the lakes he mentioned are in AZ....

 

The Butcher Jones coves I'd recommend 4x4. It seems more washed out and rutted than it used to be the last few times I've been out there. Even some of the "easier" hills I was sliding down a few stretches where I never had issues before. It's do-able even with an open diff in a lot of sections but you gotta know how to drive that terrain well and prepare to bash your skid and chunk your tires (also, this is part of what is contributing to deteriating conditions... but that just makes it funner for the 4x4's lol).

Also, You can drive into the water on the coves in Saguaro from the 4x4 ways.

 

Thanks for the information. Now I wish I had 4x4 to get close to the water!

BTW that is a sweet pic! Thats exactly what I was wanting to do.

 

just got bac from the lake. in a boat tho but yeah butcher jones 4wd is almost a must need, unless you like to put the skinny pedal down. i go to butcher jones often, ill go with you if your not afraid to pout skinny pedal down, and ill pull you up stuff if need be.

but i wont have my truck for a month and a half or so

 

ohh man... just got back from there... wish i would have checked this before i went. I am used to pulling 2wd Tacos around there... (underdog...) if you ever want to go again let me know, i am up for it any time. Also there was some good mud in a couple of places there today!
