Salt River Recreation Area in Phoenix Arizona 🚣🏼‍♀️🌵🐴

This is a look at the Salt River recreation area in Mesa Arizona. Out here on the salt river you may find wild horses, water sports, tubing, kayaking, fishing and lots and lots of sunshine. In todays series we head out to the Salt River stop at Phon D Sutton, Coon Bluff, Pebble Beach and then head up to Saguaro Lake to show you guys around the damn and the guest ranch up that way. The river is located in Mesa which is apart of Phoenix Metro.
#SaltRiver #Phoenix #Arizona
Living in Arizona is quite a unique experience because of the vastness that the state offers. From the Sonoran Desert in the south to the high country in the north all the way up towards the Four Corners east and the Grand Canyon in the west. Known as the Grand Canyon state, Arizona is diverse in many ways. The state tree is the Palo Verde, the state cactus is the Saguaro, the state bird is the Cactus wren.

Who is the person that disliked this very well put together and informative video!?? LOL 🤔🙄 Great video just seeing the nature brought me a sense of peace. Beautiful!

[@777_oracale]

🤣 people are crazy these days ,it was nice I wish I had someone 2 experience it with.🙏🏽

[@DonRamonGontano]

This are horsed that people abandoned, not mustangs, just stray horses

[@777_oracale]

@@DonRamonGontano wow, how horrible would a horse know how to survive in the wild if he or she was kept as a pet?😢

[@marysantillo3725]

That’s very , odd, huh?

[@zonacrs]

​@@DonRamonGontano Those horses are many generations old and truly wild herds, the desert is their home. They have the river for water and the desert provides them food. They are perfectly fine.

[@davidparnell1903]

Awesome video

[@jalford5073]

Your videos is one of the reasons I moved here from North Carolina. Thank you.

[@divinaflamingarrow9556]

I love this location for people and horse watching!

[@fanofcanes44]

Another incredible video that makes we glad I leave here in Az. The time and effort you put into you site is so much appreciated by us all. I have learned so much from you about what to see and I take full advantage of it all. Again thanks keep sharing PLEASE. and stay stay and healthy

[@davidl.howser9707]

Jeff THANK YOU so much for making this video of the Salt River. What a WONDERFUL video experience. Your efforts are so very much appreciated as you continue showing viewers, just like me, around Arizona. You are a blessing ! Never doubt this as it is a fact. : )

[@dawncrawford887]

Hi Jeff!

[@soniab9116]

Beautiful!! You are my favorite channel!

[@evayonan3644]

Thank you for talking about littering👍

[@orangeade5]

Be careful flying your drone on the salt river, especially up near the “water users recreation area” as there are nesting bald eagles in the area and they will abandon their nests if bothered too much.

[@LivinginArizona]

Yes that is correct, always be respectful of wild animals. When we fly the drones it is in open spaces.The drone used is also quiet and small.

[@orangeade5]

@@LivinginArizona I fly racing drones, small but very loud so I’m not able to fly over there this time of year. It’s beautiful though.

[@kouklakee]

Wonderful tour ! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this for us !

[@310Leni]

Gorgeous

[@crazeyjoe]

¡Muy buenas fotos de los caballos salvajes, el Río Salado y los lagos! Very nice shots of the wild horses, Salt River and the lakes!

[@ndrsg3013]

Really well put video. I am in AZ for three months, I will definitely visit these places only because I found this amazing edit... Thank you for the effort.

[@lamonthodges8805]

One of the funnest times I ever had was tubing down the salt River with a keg and ten guys I went to school with at Phoenix inst of tech. It was beyond great.most of us survived unharmed.

[@outbackwack368]

Thanks! 4 years living in Gilbert and have never explored these areas yet :-( Just a note... the annual America The Beautiful National Park Pass ($80) gets you into all National Forests as well, including up in Sedona... saves the $12 fee... We get the Annual National Parks, Arizona State Parks and Maricopa County Regional Park passes every year.

[@XploreAz]

How does that work for boats? Would I need to get a watercraft decal each time I want to launch my boat?

[@blockchainprofessional]

Great vid! Thank you, Sir!

[@mgarizona9939]

Great video Jeff excellent drone footage ,it’s one thing showing stuff on a map and talking about it .it’s quite another actually getting off your backside and driving and walking around these places really appreciate you taking the time to post these videos it is appreciated .

[@joshuacastro6682]

Yes I'm interested in the clothing brand partnership it sounds very interesting. Love watching these vids! Thanks Jeff!!

[@terrymolenaar7059]

Love these videos. My wife and I stayed at the sequaro lake ranch. It was beautiful!

[@prej1741]

Such great informative videos. Really love them & love the drone shots too

[@Scorpio_Song]

Thank you so much Jeff! This was pure perfection! We are blessed that you share this with us along with your wisdom! And yes would love the uv protective merch from you!!!!!

[@dawncrawford887]

I would be very interested in purchasing UV Protective clothing, hats, sunglasses, with "Living in Arizona Now" & logo on them 😀

[@shiningoutlight]

Hey, GREAT video.

[@nvisokey]

As someone that lives right down the street from there, done about 25 river trips this year. Not once have there not been plenty of horses while paddle boarding the river. Will out out there tomorrow. Also, passes are $8 at just about any local store/gas station. It is $12 at the site because of the kiosk fee. Can also get yearly passes, or use your America the Beautiful pass for access.

[@michaeltorrey3603]

The Desert Belle is a fun 2 hour cruise. Sometimes can see wildlife like bald eagles and big horn sheep. Canyon lake also has a cruise ship “Dolly.”

[@charlesheller4667]

Excellent quality video Jeff - thank you for all your hard work !!

[@havenhurstgroup]

Arizona, so beautiful !

[@campingalan]

Thank you for this awesome tour of the Salt River area!

[@gigicamarena1056]

I have to remember this saguro lake I'd like to go on that fairy to see where it takes you. Thank you for your informative videos of Arizona.

[@vickiwhite725]

GREAT video! Well done!! Very informative. 🙂

[@curtismacardy8213]

Interested in the sun screen clothing. Please do a piece on this.

[@loririce1481]

I miss those days going down to the river to just relax

[@jennettek.7687]

Yeah.... Really like your camera work... Feels like I'm right there on the water with ya! Thanks for the virtual outing! 👍

[@bradley_Bradley]

Excellent !

[@amylu3963]

Loving the video, thanks!

[@deepsea5107]

Thanks for posting this video! It looks like it might be worth it for us to bring our Aqua Patio pontoon boat with us if we end up moving from Maine to Arizona. :)

[@prej1741]

UV protection clothing is a great idea. I’d be interested since I have PMLE

[@FireQueenTarot]

July can't hurry up!! So excited to see all of this up close!!

[@tboregard6010]

Thank you! : It's been a long time since my days at chandler high school, 50 years,we would scrape up enough money for gas,food,beer and stuff, go to the river to tube down ,there was no fee for any of it back then, A lot of great memories.I am glad to see it has not become to over commercialized . Looking forward to fishing the lakes again one day.

[@user-2154]

This brought back many happy memories of the time my husband and I lived in Phoenix and our time spent having picnics and camping in the areas shown, all before having to pay to get in. 😊

[@chrisyanover1777]

I recall back in the late 80's they wanted to put a dam on the Verdi River I think on the Ft. McDowell tribe land and the tribe fought hard to stop it and won. I am surprised there are not more dams on the Verdi River like they did with the Salt River

[@eviemakayla]

Great video man! Love Salt River

[@Joe_smoe91750]

We would be interested in the UV shirts

[@pearlbubbles6885]

Great shot !

[@farmergirljo]

We stay at a RV Park across from Fort McDowell casino See the horses very often, usually around sunset. Great video!

[@zonacrs]

As a native Arizonan I'd like to compliment you on this excellent video.

[@danielnichols5060]

Nice on the clothing... I work with a hvac and plumbing company. We would be interested in the uv resistant clothing

[@stargazer1313]

While tubing one early morning a herd of horses crossed right in front of me. The adults went up onto the bank leaving a foal behind. I had to stop and get off my tube so I wouldn't run into the baby. The adults grazing on the bank looked casually over to see what was going on then went back to grazing. The foal stood for a couple minutes looking at me then followed the adults. Most exciting adventure ever!!

[@kenlamb4430]

Your videos keep getting better and better, thank you for doing what you do and sharing. Did Not know there are Tonto Pass vending machines out there. And, even tho I see it every day, those Arizona Skies one the reasons I moved out here!

[@divinaflamingarrow9556]

I notice horses more often around 4 pm.

[@raceandros5079]

What about blue point! Bak Ina day, butt nekid runin down the bridge 🤪

[@myracrosby1186]

Your videos make me miss AZ. I hope the horses are being protected. Last I heard, there was some controversy going on with wanting to move them out.

[@SergioGarcia-qo1ng]

Last time I was there the horses were in the water cooling off with us

[@ProPillowSpinners]

Have you done a drive through video of the Salt River Canyon? I drove through it but at night. I could tell it was epic but couldn't see much.

[@joerivas9847]

Peregrine falcon. 200 mph, but only in a dive. Didnt know they lived in Az. I just thought you guys had hawks, and those asphalt burning road runners.

[@myracrosby1186]

Your videos make me miss AZ. I hope the horses are being protected? Last I heard there was some controversy going on with wanting to move them out. I have great memories of the lakes around there.

[@elizabeth42journeyvideos34]

👍🌻

[@akshay9884]

Can you please make a video on the North Peoria area including Happy Valley, Vistancia, Westwing, The Meadows, Lake Pleasant, etc.

[@michelebrown4778]

Please do a video on the small town Yarnell Thanks

[@luvadventuresandart]

By the way as a native be careful the salt River is no joke!!! I have gotten hurt every time, my friend almost drowned on more then one occasion! Never tie tubes together, make sure you have a lot of water and sunscreen. Tonto pass

[@garyeven4154]

Nice video. You take good drone shots can you tell me what drone you use? Thanks

[@michaelbollinger8322]

Im a mechanic and would like to know about UV protection and how well grease and ATF would wash out

[@MartineReed]

Would be interested in the UV protective clothing, especially for kayaking/tubing. I swear to God, I know you from someplace! It is so weird to have happened upon your channel and feel as though I have met you before. Maybe I know your mother????

[@dawncrawford887]

Is there swimming here

[@Sonikbytes]

As far a I know, Canyon Lake has little beach where you can swim. There are probably more places as well

[@azny02]

Anything go on in scottsdale July 4th weekend?

[@shidoin5398]

How long is the pass good for

[@LivinginArizona]

Thats just a daily pass although they do have other passes for longer periods of time.

[@watchmanonthewall216]

Actually, you say actually just a little too often. Other than that, awesome job!

[@stewfly9227]

does anyone know if people use sailboats out here on these canyon lakes?

[@zonacrs]

It's not very common though you do see a few. These lakes get VERY busy on weekends and I imagine it wouldn't be a lot of fun getting waked out all the time by the power boats. Apache would be your best bet, on a weekday, and have a backup motor.

[@frankmiller95]

Steve Schmidt, is that you? Taking a little time off from the Lincoln Project?

[@LivinginArizona]

Lol I will look him up

[@paulguthrie5886]

check out the proud boys! f blm..f anifa remember you are now in Arizona!

[@leevahal900]

You missed all the fun 40 years ago before the police got involved .PS i found a dead guy hung up on the rocks crossing Phon D Sutton while tubing

[@RAJack]

Do you know the price of the cabins?

[@Glucoperon]

is the salt river "salty" at any point??

[@LivinginArizona]

There is actually large salt deposits on Fort Apache which is upstream from the valley of Phoenix. Thats how it gets its name. All rivers have some sodium in them but that is how it got its name.

[@pigeonsil240sx]

the person who disliked video was the guy who left thosr bags of trash on the ground

[@mikeyhoffman8240]

we call it the dirty verde because the flesh eating bacteria and dookie but yes it does looks dirty too good video

[@raceandros5079]

Loco weed, gypsum, you better dont 👽

[@MitMehta-dx9ku]

Can anyone share google location?

[@mariaalvarez7228]

Podría titularlo en español? Por favor!!!

[@mogeking56]

Those wild horses 🐎 are making love wild horse love 💗 so….. get your camera 🎥 ready, but don’t let the see you they get very angry 😡 when humans spy 🕵️‍♂️ on them making love they will call the cop and say your a peeping Tom. You will go to jail 🤣😂😅 horse jail don’t drop the soap 🧼.

[@MaryOKC]

[@raceandros5079]

Butcher Jones

[@TheSpiralAim]

You will never see wild horses out there, you will occasionally see feral horses though.

[@briancooper5308]

They are not wild horses. They are abandoned domestic horses.

[@hannahg5216]

If I travel here god or universe or big dome energy, please please please let me see wild horses 😭 imma buy a fishing pole 🎣 and spend some time alone. I miss my green broke blue eyed appaloosa. 😢

[@hannahg5216]

This place is beautiful

[@wirefly1000]

The feral Salt River horses. They are not native.

[@2Goiz_1ShanDA]

Omg so your telling me you let people wade & play doing their "buisness" in the local drinking supply?? Uv clothing?? D@mn the litterbugs!😂 Please tell me they DON'T tube in your water w their yucky feet n worse!😅😂❤

[@DonRamonGontano]

Salt river horses ain't wild horses, those are horses that people abandoned in the salt river area, of you lived here long enough you will know. Just some info

[@ppgwhereeverett4412]

Always U.V. rather than sunscreen ! YUCK !

[@ndrsg3013]
