About Tres Rios Wetlands
Currently the Tres Rios Wetlands is open to members of the public on a special request basis. The portion of the wetlands in-river environmental restoration area, from 105th Avenue to El Mirage Road, on Arizona Game and Fish land, has been re-opened for access by the public for passive recreation. To make a special request for access to the constructed wetlands, please send us an [|email] and we mail you a access permit.

The Tres Rios project consists of the construction of approximately 480 acres of emergent wetlands. These wetlands will help further clean the highly-treated effluent from the 91st Avenue Wastewater Treatment Plant, provide wildlife habitat, and create a public amenity unique to this area which will include multi-use trails, picnic areas, and an environmental education center for visitors to experience the spirit of the historic river. The emergent wetlands phase was completed in May 2010.

The full scale wetlands was built on the bank of the river, protecting it from river flows. From Tres Rios Wetlands web site
