Tempe Town Lake
Located in downtown Tempe and right along Arizona State University, this urban lake attracts college students, residents and visitors. You can find everyone participating in various boating activities such as sailing, rowing and paddling. Small green hills and concrete sidewalks surround the lake as well, fitted for picnics, lounging with family and friends and simple strolls to enjoy the scenery.
