Tempe Town Lake will remain closed to fishing and boating a while longer.

Why?

Because Tempe Town Lake and the State of Arizona have experienced a historic event.

Last weekend’s floods were the biggest on the Salt and Verde Rivers since 1993, before Town Lake was even built. The inflows are the highest we have on record, about eight times greater than average.

The water has downed full-sized trees, sent abandoned boats over the dam, and eroded several feet of sand from Town Lake’s Boat Beach.

This level of flooding also brings with it water quality issues, including e-coli. As a result, Town Lake will be closed to all watersports, such as boating and fishing.

People and dogs should stay out of the water. No boat rentals, rowing, pedal boats, paddleboards or any other kind of watersport.

Feel free to walk and bike! Fun on the shore continues as usual.

We're making Tempe safer for every generation 💙

Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons, or RRFBs if you're using the cool traffic engineer lingo, help draw more attention to pedestrians as they use crosswalks on busy roads. This one just recently went in near McClintock High School.

This is part of Tempe's Vision Zero initiative which aims to eliminate fatal and serious injury crashes on Tempe streets.
