Ok, everyone has pointed out that this is a canal, but it's still a nice waterway and does not stink at all. I think only two places have "water" views, but it's better than staring at another table of people or parked cars when your dining al fresco. There is some exploring to do also just past where the water starts. Oh yes and people do jog along that canal and these are Scottsdale women, so the sites ain't so bad either especially on a 70 degree winter afternoon.
