When the temperatures in Phoenix rise, there’s no better way to escape the heat than zooming around a lake on a Jet Ski. On either Lake Pleasant or Bartlett Lake in the Phoenix area, you can rent a Honda AquaTrax personal watercraft and blast through the water at speeds up to 70 mph (112 kph) as you enjoy the beautiful Arizona landscape.

A Jet Ski, or personal watercraft, is a thrill-seekers dream on water. Rent one on either Lake Pleasant or Bartlett Lake in the Phoenix area for a day blasting through the water, creating waves and feeling the wind in your face. Each Jet Ski holds up to three people.

Both lakes offer you the chance to experience Arizona’s beauty. Lake Pleasant, north of Phoenix, is known for its clear water and awesome Sonoran Desert setting. With a surface area of 10,000 acres (4,045 hectares), the lake has many fingers and coves where you can find glassy water, perfect for riding a Jet Ski. Bartlett Lake, part of Tonto National Forest north east of Phoenix, is a reservoir with gently sloping beaches on the west side and mountains that break the wind on the east - this geography makes for great lake weather.

All you need to do is make your own way to the lake, and your Jet Ski will be ready and waiting for you to ride! ... More info ›
