The Grand Canalscape is a 12-mile continuous, multi-use recreational trail system along the Grand Canal in Phoenix – providing a unique opportunity for people to safely walk, run or bike along a dedicated off-street pathway.
The Grand Canalscape features a 10 to 12-foot-wide concrete pathway, dusk-to-dawn pedestrian lighting, seating and signalized crossings at major intersections.
There are several pedestrian/bicycle bridge crossings along the route to provide access to the Canalscape pathway from the opposite side of the canal.
The Grand Canalscape currently extends from 75th Ave near Indian School Road east to 47th Ave, then continues from the I-17 to the Tempe border near 56th Street north of Tempe Town Lake.
There are multiple access points along the Grand Canalscape, along with a variety of features and amenities for everyone to enjoy!
Help keep the Grand Canalscape looking grand by volunteering with the city’s Adopt-A-Canal program. Volunteers assist with litter pick-up, restocking pet waste stations and reporting damage or graffiti along the pathway.
