Description | Canyon Lake in the Tonto National Forest will be temporarily closed for about four months starting September 16, 2026, to conduct dam safety inspections and maintenance projects. The project involves substantially lowering the lake's water level by about 54 feet to access submerged critical equipment.

The closure will prohibit all recreational activities and is necessary to ensure water reliability and operational safety. |
