Pleasant sucks, plain and simple. I will not even take my 26' out there. To many ass hats that have no clue. As Ray said, Bartlett and Apache are the way to go, well worth the drive.
Lake Mary looks pretty cool, we have been by there and seen people skiing on it, looks small, not sure of the depth and I know it varies greatly with the season changes and rain fall. You might want to check with either game and fish or the forest service to verify the stipulations on the lake. If jets are allowed it would be a bitchen place to hang out at when it is 115-120 in phoenix.
