A steep-walled Salt River reservoir on the Apache Trail east of Phoenix, dived primarily from the Acacia recreation site. A cove between the day-use area and boat ramp reaches about 60 feet, and following the old riverbed exceeds 100 feet; sunken attractions include a bus at ~50 ft, a van at 30-35 ft and a boat at ~80 ft. Visibility is generally poor, and boat traffic requires a flag and caution.
