Discover the Salt River: Arizona’s Lifeline of Adventure and History

Imagine a ribbon of cool, refreshing water winding through the scorching Arizona desert. That’s the Salt River, a 200-mile oasis that has shaped the land and its people for thousands of years. Just like a time machine, the Salt River can transport you from the bustling city to a world of natural wonders and rich history in minutes.

A River with a Story

Long before air conditioning and swimming pools, the Salt River was the heartbeat of the desert. Native American tribes, like the Pima and Maricopa, built an impressive network of canals to bring life-giving water to their crops. These ancient farmers were the original desert gardeners, nurturing the land with the river’s precious gift.

As time flowed on, like the river itself, pioneers arrived in the 1860s. They saw the river’s potential and started building canals too. It was like planting seeds of a new civilization in the desert soil. The Salt River became the foundation for the growth of Phoenix and the surrounding areas.

Your Gateway to Adventure

Ready to dip your toes in history? Here’s how to find this desert treasure:

• From Phoenix: Take the 202 East, then merge onto AZ-87 North. It’s like following a map to hidden treasure!
• From Scottsdale: Head east on McDowell Road, which turns into Bush Highway. Keep your eyes peeled for signs to Salt River recreation areas.
• From Mesa: Take Power Road north until it becomes Bush Highway. You’re on the right path when you start seeing saguaro cacti everywhere!
