With red-rock cliffs in all directions, Canyon Lake is quite the watery jewel—and it’s just 45 minutes east of Phoenix, in Tonto National Forest. Ten miles (16 kilometers) long with 28 miles of shoreline, this little oasis in the desert attracts water skiers, boaters, swimmers, anglers, hikers, and those simply looking for an accessible slice of Mother Nature.
