Boat access only.
The Point is located in the Mesa Ranger District and is mostly known for boat access only camping on Canyon Lake. There are only three designated camp units at this site, but the camp units can also be used as picnic sites for day use. Boaters enjoy The Point during summer months along with fishermen because of the courtesy dock. No garbage collection. Pack it in, Pack it out.
This site is 17 miles northeast of Apache Junction on Arizona State Hwy. 88, (historic “Apache Trail”). From Mesa, take US 60 to the Idaho Road exit. Go north on Idaho Road to State Hwy. 88 and turn right. After crossing the first bridge at the lake, watch for Palo Verde Recreation Site sign and turn left into site. The entire route to the lake is paved with narrow, sharp curves; traffic is heavy. The last 3 miles are by boat. Click Here For Map.
Rental boats available. Beautiful scenery!!! Fun lake for swimming and playing in the water.
Magical views at another God's artwork ✨ amazing 👏 in gratitude 🙏 I'm
a dock & an outdoor toilet, nothing fancy but gets the job done. the views all thru this area are phenomenal!! The history of this area & majestic views are unparalleled...
This place is seriously stunning. I have to say, there are all sorts of lagoons you can find yourself in. I do have one complaint, on the weekend there are so many boaters AND the waterways can be quite narrow in some places making the wakes a bit of an issue if you want to swim. I recommend finding a lagoon to anchor in and swim there. Lots of people with really loud music/boats playing explicit stuff. Not the most conducive for families, might be different on a week day.
