Really great Italian-ish food and fantastic salads! Our favorites are the Vino Bambino and the Big Beefstro salads. (And the pizzookie dessert!) It's a fun, loud atmosphere, and there is often a wait on the weekends.

If you want to paddle board along the "river walk" this is the place. Google Tempe Town Lake paddle board or kayak rentals to see the options. Not good for swimming.

A fun weekend activity! Check out the website for details. Tubing is not really ideal for kids. Bring more water than you think you'll need and don't forget sunscreen!
If you have two vehicles, you can rent paddleboards or kayaks at a local shop. Be sure to ask their advice so you understand where to launch and where to exit the river. We always see the wild horses on the river!
Or you can just park near the bridge and have lunch and play in the river.
You will need a "Tonto Pass" to park here, which is about $10 and can be purchased at many gas stations, but not at the river itself. You can Google and find a list of sellers.

Gorgeous views at the lake and on the drive there. There is a dinner paddleboat cruise that's fun, or pack a lunch and sit on the beach. Look for Desert Bighorn Sheep up in the rocks!

Hiking
There are several trails here, most we could consider "moderate" difficulty. The views are fantastic, even if you don't go all the way up. Look them up online or on All Trails for details. Bring more water than you think you'll need and don't forget sunscreen!
