Salt River projects boost lake recreation and access
Over the last two years more than 400000 dollars funded shoreline improvements across 239 miles of Salt River Project lakes. Planned next year include 300000 dollars for Canyon and Roosevelt Lakes plus a marina at Cholla Bay. Roosevelt Lake will gain a 200 unit marina and trailer court. Tortilla Flat campground will receive 20000? no, 200000 dollars for a 40 to 50 family campground. Over two million people enjoyed the Tonto National Forest area last year and the Salt River lakes generate over 20 million yearly for Arizona. The Roosevelt Dam remains key. 200+ billion gallons were released last year for domestic and agricultural use. The Water Safety Patrol contributed 500 volunteers with 5000 hours of service.
