Great place to run or bike without having to worry about traffic. The Arizona Canal can take you all the way from Peoria to Scottsdale depending on how far you want to go. While you do have to cross some streets, there are tunnels under the freeways and some of the bigger streets like 24th Street. If you're looking for a place to get in your long run or bike ride or you just want to get across town, try the canal. Remember though, if you're out at night there are no streetlights so take a light.
