About this river

Hassayampa River

The Hassayampa River is a 113-mile-long river in central Arizona that flows through the Sonoran Desert. Historically, it was a major water source for Native Americans and early settlers, but now it primarily serves as an irrigation source for agriculture. The river's flow is highly variable and dependent on monsoon rains. It has been dammed several times to create reservoirs like Lake Pleasant, which provides water for the Phoenix metropolitan area. Recreation activities along the river include hiking, fishing, and kayaking, with several parks and preserves offering access to the river. The Hassayampa River is also an important ecological corridor, providing habitat for rare wildlife species like the southwestern willow flycatcher and the Sonoran Desert toad.
