Tempe Town Lake, Recreational reservoir in Tempe, United States
The lake extends two miles along the Salt River banks, featuring paths for outdoor activities and sandy beaches near downtown Tempe.
The reservoir was completed in 1999 after twenty years of planning, using inflatable rubber barriers to contain water from the Colorado River system.
Tempe Beach Park hosts numerous annual celebrations, including Independence Day fireworks, music festivals, and community gatherings throughout the year.
Visitors can participate in water activities such as kayaking, paddleboarding, and fishing, with equipment rentals available near the shoreline.
The lake maintains a depth of 16 feet through a sophisticated system that compensates for water loss by drawing from the Central Arizona Project.
