Boating Facilities

The Boating Facilities Section in the Development Branch administers three grant programs to assist with boating in Arizona: Boating Access, Boating Infrastructure, and Clean Vessel Act. Congress allocates annual funds to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to support these programs that are largely restricted to on-the-ground activities, and enhance boating access and facilities for the recreational boater and fisherman on Arizona waterways.

New Information

Vehicular access to the Agua Fria arm of Lake Pleasant via Table Mesa Road is currently closed for the season.  Due to unsuccessful nesting, the bald eagle closure on the Agua Fria arm has been lifted, allowing full boating access from the main body of Lake Pleasant.  The entire area remains open daily for walk-in access. Additional improvements to the Agua Fria boat ramp and associated facilities are anticipated to continue over the next several months.
