Canal Park
Canal Park is home to one of the best urban fishing habitats in the valley. The trail that surrounds the lake can be shared by walkers and runners. Part of the trail, which is accessible, leads to an accessible fishing area. Visitors to this scenic desert oasis might get a glimpse of the Big Horn Sheep that roam the butte or the Herons and King Fisher birds that visit the lake. Walkers and runners can also access the Papago Cross-Cut Canal on the west side of the park, and head north towards Scottsdale or south through Papago Park.
