This is a moderate paved loop around Tempe Town Lake, with water on one side and the downtown skyline on the other. The path is open daily from early morning to midnight and is lit at night, so it works well for evening runs. Tempe Beach Park is a convenient starting point, and there is a lot of public art along the way.
