Lake Pleasant North Side Trails???

[midevilcrz]

Hey guys & gals,

I was wondering if anyone knows some trails that can let me drive up to the back (North) side of Lake Pleasant. I always use the launch ramp on the far north west side of the lake (the Yavapai Launch). But I sometimes see trucks parked on the North side of the lake not anywhere near the launch ramps. I just can't seem to find the trails they use to get there.

Any Ideas????

Thanks,

Jeremy W.

I've been there, don't remember how, I was leaving the lake. Came in the northside by way of some trails off the 60 north of Surprise, about 17 miles through the mountains and down the valley to the lake (I didn't really know where I was going, I was just goin').

It's Castle Hot Springs Rd. Take north lake pleasant rd around the west side of the lake and turn right on castle hot springs rd. That will take you around the west and north side of the lake. Castle hot springs rd will loopp up through the mountains and dump out on the 60 noth of Surprise.
