Hassayampa River Preserve

014
   For most of it’s 113 miles the Hassayampa River flows underground. The preserve is one of the few places where the water reaches the surface making a lush oasis and providing a home for numerous animals and birds. Displays in the visitor center cover the history, geology, plant and animal life of the preserve. Several short trails travel through different habitats.

  The visitor center is accessible. The  half mile Palm Lake Loop trail which circles a small man-made lake is accessible but most wheelchair users will need some help due to soft and steep sections. The other trails have loose sand and are not accessible.

  The parking lot is large enough for short RVs only.   Preserve
