Nestled in the expansive White Tank Mountain Regional Park, the White Tank Mountain Waterfall is celebrated as the most accessible waterfall near Phoenix. Covering over 29,000 acres, this largest regional park in Maricopa County is a haven for activities like hiking, biking, and horseback riding.

The waterfall, about 30 feet high, is most vibrant during the rainy season, cascading picturesquely against the stunning desert backdrop. Geographically Unique, the area is named for its large “tanks” in white granite, crucial for collecting rainwater in the arid landscape.

Best Time to Visit: The waterfall is most impressive post-rainfall, when it transforms the desert with blooming flora.
