Welcome to the Town of Cave Creek Trails Web page.

Vision: Access to our open spaces is fundamental to our western lifestyle and enhances our understanding of the desert environment in which we live. Our vision is to create accessible, non-motorized trail connections to recreational open spaces throughout the town that do not affect the overall quality or integrity of the natural environment for the enjoyment of our citizens and future generations.

Trails Coordinator: Bambi Muller, Associate Planner

Current Status: The Maricopa County Regional Trail is finally becoming a reality. The first three miles of the trail was constructed and was dedicated to the public at a Grand Opening on April 26, 2007. This trail has been years in the making and will eventually connect to every park in the Maricopa County Parks and Recreation system.

The Spur Cross Trail, Phase 1 and Phase II, which is approximately a three (3) mile non-motorized trail, is 90% completed.  The trail will be lined with rock and signage installed. 

The School House Trail, Phase III, which is approximately a two (2) mile non-motorized trail, is almost completed. Volunteers worked once a week for eleven weeks, from March 14, 2007 to May 23, 2007 to complete lining the trail with rocks. It looks fantastic! Now all that is left to do is to get the signs posted.

A big "Thank You" to all the volunteers who have already contributed to the success of Phase 1 & II and of the Spur Cross Trail and now Phase III the School House Trail.
