English: Canyon Lake is one of four reservoirs that were formed by the damming of the Salt River in Arizona as part of the Salt River Project. It was formed by the Mormon Flat Dam, which was completed in 1925 after two years of construction. Canyon Lake, with a surface area of 950 acres (380 ha), is the third and smallest of the four. Two others, Apache Lake and Roosevelt Lake, are upstream, and the fourth, Saguaro Lake, is downstream.

Canyon Lake lies approximately 15 miles (24 km) up the Apache Trail (Arizona State Route 88) from Apache Junction and is 51 miles (82 km) east of Phoenix. It is within the Superstition Wilderness of Tonto National Forest and is a popular recreation area. Amenities include hiking trails, camping, and boating, all managed by the United States Forest Service.
