Prescott National Forest

Recreational Activities: Trails

Archaeology | Cabins | Camping | Fishing | Prospecting | Trails | Wilderness | Wildlife | Off-Highway Vehicle

For the hiker, backpacker, horseback rider, or trailbiker, the Prescott offers a variety of scenic trails totaling 450 miles. Mild climate allows the trails to be enjoyed year-round. However, it is recommended that adequate water be a high priority when planning a hiking trip since natural water sources are scarce and undependable throughout most of the forest.
