Tempe Town Lake is a man-made reservoir on the Salt River channel developed in the late 1990s and opened to the public in 1999, creating new waterfront access in downtown Tempe.
This urban waterway is an important pocket habitat—pack out trash, keep dogs leashed, and avoid feeding wildlife to protect birds and aquatic life.
