Canyon Lake is one of four reservoirs that were formed by the damming of the Salt River in the U.S. state of Arizona as part of the Salt River Project. It was formed by the Mormon Flat Dam, which was completed in 1925 after two years of construction.

The fourth, Saguaro Lake, is downstream.
Canyon Lake lies approximately Шаблон:Convert up the Apache Trail from Apache Junction, Arizona and Шаблон:Convert east of Phoenix.
