The lake hosts an active rowing community made up of the following clubs/programs: Tempe Town Lake Rowing Masters and Juniors, Rio Salado Rowing Club Masters, Tempe Junior Crew, Xavier College Prep Crew, Brophy Prep Crew and ASU Men's and Women's Club Crew. The success of all these programs proves that rowing can have an active life in the desert.
