My dogs and I went swimming in the canals and irrigation ditch's all the time out west. I still swim in them. Was swimming in the CAP 2 weeks ago as a matter of fact. The CAP runs off of the Colorado, so it is relatively safe.

Drive west, get off at the Salome Highway/Harquahala Valley Rd Exit. It is 50 miles from the 101/I-10 exit. Drive south about 12 miles until the road ends. Take a right on Baseline. Drive down Baseline a few miles, take a left at 535th. Take 535th a few miles down till you hit W Eagletail rd. Right there is the CAP. That is where I go swimming, my other dad lives right there.

The water comes fresh out of the Parker Dam. It pipes down, and the Harquahala ditch is the first branch off the CAP. Still fresh, still cold, as it runs underground a few times.

How about trying the Verde River? Take a day trip and go either up to Camp Verde, between Horseshoe and Bartlett Lake, or out east of Fountain Hills off the Beeline Highway.

Hey wow I never even thought about either of those. I am completely out of the loop on what the East Valley has to offer.

Desert Rat - thanks for providing liberals the ammunition to make a case against ignorant conservative american's. Keep up the good work and please continue to represent Conservative's and American's alike with such class. Sucks when I take a stand against the ACLU I have to defend our right wingers like you.

Everyone else - Thanks

What did AzDesertRat86 say? All I read is he swims in the CAP and is out of the loop of swiming holes in the east valley. Am I missing something?
