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.

Desert Sprints Regatta
Saturday, March 6
Tempe Town Lake
7:00 a.m.
Come cheer for Rio Salado, as rowers compete in the largest Desert Sprints regatta in nine years on Saturday, March 6. Teams from California, Colorado, and Utah will be travelling to Arizona to compete against local junior, collegiate, and master's rowing programs - like Rio Salado! Come enjoy the event from the Rio Salado hospitality tent, set up on the north shore of the lake, on the grassy area just east of the Tempe Town Lake Marina - the perfect place to catch all the action.

The first of 42 scheduled races is set to go off 7:00 a.m., continuing until completion of the final race at approximately 5:00 p.m. There will be plenty of great rowing to see, so bring your lawn chair and sunglasses, and come spend the day with your Rio Salado Rowing Club team. (To see a schedule of races, click here.) Look for the Rio tent!

We are extremely pleased and excited to announce our new winter season open row schedule! We have added new open row times and have a total of eleven open row times occurring every day of the week! In order to make this work, please access the RSRC Member Forums and post your intention to be present at the row 24 hours prior to the open row time. If you fail to do this we cannot guarantee that a facilitator will be present. As always club boats cannot be taken out without the assigned facilitator present. You can view the open row schedule here.
