A few minutes spent by the side of the Salt River near the north side of the State Highway 288 bridge over the Salt River just upstream from Theodore Roosevelt Lake in Gila County, Arizona.

Time: around midday 23 March 2009.

Hydraulic discharge at this site on this date at this time was between 1700 and 1800 cubic feet per second (cfs).

  • how phoenix used to look

  • Ha ha. I guess you're right.

  • why do they call it Salt River?

  • Hi David. Why is the Salt River called the Salt River? I don't know! I can guess though. It could be called the Salt because when it's at a low flow stage, salt deposits form along its banks. (That's a common enough feature you see in streams that dry up periodically.) Or maybe it could be that the water is just inordinately salty to the taste? Other than those guesses, I can't say for sure. Along with the Gila River and the Colorado River, the Salt River is one of Arizona's greatest. Canoe it.
