About Canyon Lake
Canyon Lake is a scenic narrow reservoir located just 20 minutes from our Apache Junction headquarters. With its dramatic canyon walls, clear water, and full amenities at the marina, it's one of Arizona's most popular water sports destinations. Whether you're looking for an adrenaline-pumping jet ski adventure or a leisurely pontoon cruise, Canyon Lake delivers the perfect day on the water.
The lake spans 28 miles with protected coves and open riding areas suitable for all skill levels. The water is generally calm in the mornings and protected by canyon walls from strong winds. You'll enjoy stunning views of red rock formations and desert landscape while cruising the pristine waters.
Wave and Ridge offers lake delivery to Canyon Lake. We transport your rental to the boat ramp, launch it, conduct a safety orientation, and pick everything up when you're done. Delivery is $100 per trailer for jet skis and $150 for boats. Canyon Lake is one of only two lakes we deliver to, making it one of the most convenient destinations for a hassle-free water sports experience.
