Description
Canyon Lake, its arround about 40 miles east of Phoenix is one of the four lakes created by dams on the Salt River. The others are Roosevelt Lake, Apache Lake and Saguaro Lake. Canyon Lake is the smallest of the all four lake but the most picturesque. Unusual rock formations, scenic red rock canyon walls combine desert flora create its southwestern natural beauty. Hidden coves that peek out around every turn are great for fishing. Whether you launch your own boat or rent one at the marina, the lake waters are ideal for fishing, water-skiing, jet skiing, or just leisure sightseeing.
At an aggrandisement of about 1,600 feet, twenty eight miles of shoreline and 950 surface acres of shining waters, the lake does not disappoint.
Serene Tranquility
The high canyon walls rise in geometric spirals and unique forms. The road to the lake has twists and turns that give you quick glances of the lake as it draws near, building a sense of expectation of the beauty you will discover. Many of Canyon Lake's seclude shoreline and lagoons are reachable only by water, but you don't need a motorized boat to explore these Edens. A kayak, canoe or a raft will go very well.
Wildlife along the lake side is abundant and it isn't unusual to catch sights of deer, javalina, coyotes and even Big Horn Sheep on occasion. Desert plant life is also abundant including the stately Saguaro cactus and other desert flora. The spring is a special treat when cactus are in bloom. There are also hiking trails around the lake when the urge to get up close with nature arises.
Lake Recreation and Amenities
Canyon Lake and all its surrounding undeniably wilderness is an ideal outdoor jewel for residents and visitors of the Phoenix area. And it so close Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa, Tempe, Chandler and other Valley of the Sun communities that you can make the lake visit an afternoon getaway, a day trip or a weekend of camping, boating and fishing.
Anglers can slip into a secluded cove and fish for largemouth bass, walleye, yellow bass, rainbow trout, crappie and channel catfish. Its full-service marina includes a campground, a restaurant, boat rentals, two boat ramps and boat repairs.
Two miles from the marina is the Tortilla Flat Campground which is open from October through April and features 77 camping spots with sewage and water hookups available for a small fee. Fisherman and boaters can also opt to travel three miles up the lake to the Point Campground. This campground is open year round at no charge but has only three spaces available, so depending on the season, arriving early could be critical if you want to camp there.
