The largest residential lake in Pinal county, Paradise Lake, can be found in a quiet rural neighborhood south of Casa Grande in Arizona City.  The layout of the  48 acre lake maximizes the lake view of each waterfront home.  Even in the narrowest parts of the lake, most waterfront homeowners enjoy at least 200 feet of waterfront view.  Select lakefront lots can easily have waterfront views of over 600 ft behind them.  That is some of the best if not the best in the Phoenix valley.

The origins of Dobson Ranch reach back to the early history of the east valley when it began as a cattle ranch and farming operation.  Wilson Wesley Dobson emigrated from Canada to Arizona and began his cattle ranching and farming in 1886, which is 25 years before Roosevelt Dam was completed.  He may have belonged to the Salt River Valley Water Users Association (SRVWUA) who pledged more than 200,000 acres of their land for the federal construction loan to build the dam. As many as 20,000 head of cattle roamed the land where Baseline Road stands.
