Tempe Town Lake is a haven for humans and wildlife alike, in this water starved desert. You'll find space to do just about any outdoor activity you can think for from cycling & picnicking to paddle boarding & fishing. Don't worry if you left your equipment at home as there are many areas to rent the items you need so you can enjoy the lake.

Hiking

This is a lovely patch of sand along the north shore of Tempe Town Lake, which was created by damming the dried-up Salt River and then adding water. You may see electric-, wind- and human-powered boats on the water; in fact, the lake is a great place to launch a kayak.
