Palo Verde is a day-use boat ramp on Canyon Lake offering motorized and non-motorized boating, fishing, and picnicking with restrooms and picnic tables available.

Located 14 miles northeast of Apache Junction on Arizona State Highway 88, the site requires a Tonto Daily Pass ($8-$12) or Discovery Pass and a watercraft sticker ($4 for motorized boats), with boat trailers limited to 28 feet.

Note that Canyon Lake reaches maximum boating capacity early on most weekends and holidays April-October, and no drinking water is available at the site.
