Chandler is a great base camp for activities for the outdoor enthusiast and a popular activity is floating down the Salt River on a tube. No matter where you go in the Sonoran Desert, make sure to apply sunscreen, wear comfortable shoes, and drink lots of water. You can experience all kinds of recreation like hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, and fishing in the surrounding area. When it gets hot you can cool off with some water park fun. Renting a camper van makes the surrounding area more accessible also. At Veterans Oasis Park in East Chandler, there are over four miles of trails where you can hike or ride a bike while bird watching and admiring the natural beauty around you.
