I just saw a video on one of the Facebook fishing groups I follow regarding a small increase in entry fees, along with a big change in overnight fishing fees.
It looks like the
Day Use fee for the lake went up 1 dollar, so it's $11 to go to Lake Pleasant for
Day Use Only. I put emphasis on the Day Use part of that statement because the county has decided that anyone who stays at the lake past 10 PM is now considered an over-night camper. This means, you now have to pay the camping fee and not Day Use.
I would link the video, but it's a closed group on FB and you need to be a member of the group to view it. I sent an email out to Lake Pleasant Regional Park to find out more details on it and I'm waiting to hear back.
In the meantime, here's a link to the News Release regarding the price increase.

This increase and rule change only affects the county ramps, which are the 10-lane and 4-lane (Castle Creek). You can still enter at the marina and pay the single 24-hour lake access fee, which is $8 if I remember right.
Is there anyone else with more information regarding this? Bruce, I figure you would be the insider on this information.
