Fish Creek Canyon tomorrow 8/23..water levels?

Post by mackt »

Hello all. I finally got moved to Arizona three weeks ago. Been to Sedona and Canyonlands in Utah so far. Headed to fish creek canyon in superstitions tomorrow. I wanted to bring my dslr and was wondering what the water levels ate like. Will I be required to swim or wade above the waist? If so I better leave it home..

I you drive 88 to Fish Creek on a week day expect delays as they are repaving the asphalt portion of the roadway.

@PrestonSands
When I was there in early March, there was water directly under the bridge and more water later on, but it didn't seem like enough for swimming. I would guess that it's even drier now.

I remember one especially green and stagnant pool while I was there. I don't think I'd want to swim there.
