FIRE BAN CURRENTLY IN PLACE...
The fire ban includes the use of campfires, fire pits and charcoal grills; however, it is still acceptable to use gas/propane grills in designated areas such as the ramada areas, semi-developed and developed camping sites and along the shoreline at Lake Pleasant Regional Park. If necessary, additional details will be posted on park specific pages under the "Alert" section in the upper right hand corner of the page.
A date to lift the fire ban has not been identified and will be determined by the amount of rain
Maricopa County receives during the monsoon season.
