Enjoy the canal banks safely

SRP uses its 131 miles of canals to efficiently deliver water to a large portion of the Valley. The canals are an enjoyable area to use for walking, jogging and biking but can be dangerous and are never intended for swimming.

    While canals can be used for recreation, it's important to know there are risks. Always stay on paths and away from canal edges. Be mindful of hazards and SRP work crews when they are doing maintenance.

    Safety tips

    If you are going to walk, jog or bike along the canals, be sure you know how to do so safely. Canals can be very dangerous, so please follow these canal safety tips to avoid drowning or injury:

     

    Don't swim in canals — ever!
     

    Keep a safe distance from the edges of the canals. Canal sides are extremely slick, making it difficult to get out.
     

    Swimming, canoeing, kayaking, water skiing and tubing are not allowed in the canals.
     

    Make sure to teach children about canal safety.
     

    Don’t drive motorized vehicles, including electric bikes and scooters, on the canal banks.
     

    Stay away from automated equipment at water delivery gates.
     

    Never jump in to rescue pets or retrieve objects such as toys. Call 911 for help.
     

    Secure permission from SRP before using canal banks for any kind of event.
     

    Camping and fires are not allowed on the canal banks.
