The Salt River is a river in Gila and Maricopa counties in Arizona, United States, that is the largest tributary of the Gila River.
The river is about 200 miles (320 km) long. Its drainage basin covers about 13,700 square miles (35,000 km2).
The longest of the Salt River\\\\\\\’s many tributaries is the 195-mile (314 km) Verde River. The Salt’s headwaters tributaries, the Black River and East Fork, increase the river’s total length to about 300 miles (480 km).
The name Salt River comes from the river’s course over large salt deposits shortly after the merging of the White and Black Rivers.
Rainbow Trout, Largemouth Bass, Sunfish and Catfish can all be found in the waters of the Salt River below Saguaro Lake. Take advantage of this year-round trout fishery in the summer when the air temperatures are 100°F and the water is 65°F.
