# back to Canyon Lake - Link: https://mywalkabout.net/back-to-canyon-lake/ - Published: 2018-11-29T05:37:02-07:00 - Author: My Walkabout August can be especially brutal in Arizona, but if you are willing to get outside early enough, you’ll find somewhat cooler temperatures that make being outdoors bearable. ![](https://i1.wp.com/mywalkabout.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/WDYCE1588.jpg?fit =940%2C651&ssl=1) I head back to Canyon Lake for some early morning paddle boarding. I love the sweat that comes off my body at seven a.m. ![](https://i0.wp.com/mywalkabout.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_3166-1.jpg? fit=940%2C705&ssl=1) I find a makeshift rope swing, and splash into the cool waters. I enjoy a cold beer on the dock before heading back home. ![](https://i1.wp.com/mywalkabout.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_3167.jpg?fit =940%2C706&ssl=1) All told I’m done and back home before noon, but you got to opt outside when you can during the hellish dog days of a Phoenix summer. ### Share this: * [ Email ](https://mywalkabout.net/back-to-canyon-lake/?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20back%20to%20Canyon%20Lake&body=https%3A%2F%2Fmywalkabout.net%2Fback-to-canyon-lake%2F&share=email) * [Post](https://x.com/share) * [Share on Tumblr](https://www.tumblr.com/share) * [ WhatsApp ](https://mywalkabout.net/back-to-canyon-lake/?share=jetpack-whatsapp) * [ Nextdoor ](https://mywalkabout.net/back-to-canyon-lake/?share=nextdoor) * [ Threads ](https://mywalkabout.net/back-to-canyon-lake/?share=threads) * [[ * [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) * [ Reddit ](https://mywalkabout.net/back-to-canyon-lake/?share=reddit) ### Like this: Like Loading…
