Did you know that Tempe Town Lake is Arizona’s second-most visited public attraction?

It’s a great place to enjoy just walking along the lake taking photos, bicycling, hiking, picnicking, and even fishing. Visitors can rent all kinds of boats from kayaks to ten-person donut boats, kayaks, and paddleboards. Since its origin in 1999, the City of Tempe has built several parks and facilities along the lake’s shores, including the Tempe Center for the Arts, Town Lake Marina, a Veterans Memorial, a Public Safety Memorial, volleyball courts, a boat beach and several habitat areas.

There are more than 50 special events annually at Tempe Town Lake, from Ironman Arizona to great concerts, Way Out West Oktoberfest, dragon boat races.
