This review is only about the kayaking at Tempe Town Lake. It is one BORING place to kayak.
I paid $50 as a non-resident for an annual pass to kayak there. The pass was a pain to get, as you have to go down to the Pyle Adult Recreation Center or the Tempe Library during their business hours, which is hard for a working professional.
Anyway, parking was hard to find on the north beach after the early morning hours on a Saturday, and the lake is really just a big rectangle of water with very little to see on either side.
I would still consider getting one, but there have to be better places to go kayaking than this, and I wish I had only purchased a day pass rather than the annual.
