With the un-offically start of summer this Memorial Day weekend it means that many Phoenicians will be heading to one of the 6 lakes within an hours drive of Phoenix. Many lake goers consider Bartlett Lake to be a quieter, safer and family friendly lake north of Scottsdale. Just in time for the summer season the Barlett Lake Marina http://www.bartlettlake.com/ has opened the Bartlett Lake Grill just in time for Memorial Day weekend over looking the lake.
