Share feedback or correctionLake Pleasant is an approximately 10,000-acre multipurpose reservoir on the Agua Fria River about 35 miles northwest of Phoenix. New Waddell Dam, completed in the early 1990s by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation for the Central Arizona Project, enlarged the earlier Waddell Dam pool so CAP can store Colorado River water, generate power, and provide flood control and recreation.
