Join the Arizona Game and Fish Department Boating Safety Education Program in promoting water safety at upcoming life jacket exchange events across the state, including May 17th here at the Lake Pleasant 10 Lane Boat Ramp from 8 a.m. until noon. The 10 Lane Boat Ramp is just minutes from Scorpion Bay.
During the exchanges, people with old, worn out and less-effective life jackets can swap them for a new one, while supplies last. Please note that Type I and Type II life jackets will not be accepted.
