Welcome to the Rio Salado Rowing Club

Rio Salado is a volunteer, not-for-profit, charitable Arizona corporation with federal 501(c)(3) status. The primary focus of the club is education: teaching rowing to beginning through competitive rowers.

RSRC's boathouse is located on the North side of Tempe Town Lake on the southwest corner of Mill Avenue and Washington/Curry Roads adjacent to the Marquee Theatre and the Rio Salado Operations Center. Parking is available underneath the Loop 202 freeway next to the boat storage area. There are two entrances - Eastbound on Washington just west of the Marquee Theatre, and Southbound on Mill, just south of Washington/Curry. When parking for classes or open row, park under the 202. Do not park over on the Marquee Theater side of the lot or your car may be towed.

RSRC is administered by a nine-member volunteer board of directors that meets monthly. These meetings and the recorded minutes are open to all club members.

Tempe named one of country's best rowing communities

Tempe was named one of the Best Places to Retire and Row in the United States by The Rower's Almanac.

Rating factors included housing costs, state income tax rates, number of restaurants, theatres, libraries and hospitals, types of water and rowing available, number of boathouses and regattas, and the size of the local rowing population. Optimal rowing conditions, a low cost of living and a high quality of life also factored into the mix.
