Tres Rios Wetlands

Tres Rios Wetlands is a 480-acre emergent wetland that serves as a habitat for a variety of wildlife while also purifying water in a productive and natural manner. Leashed dogs are welcome to accompany their owners on a tour of this fascinating and diverse environment, which is owned and administered by the Phoenix Water Services Department. To visit the wetlands, you'll need a permit. Permits are valid for three months and can be obtained by calling Heather Finden at the number listed. For their own safety and the conservation of the wetlands, dogs must be kept on a leash at all times.Because there is no shade, it is preferable to visit the wetlands early in the day during hot months, especially if you have a dog with you. The trail is dirt with tiny pebbles on it. There are no drinking facilities on site, so make sure you and your dog have enough of water.
