Description

This is one of the few "Rail to Trail" projects in Arizona. There are outstanding views of Watson Lake and Granite Dells, as well as wildlife viewing.

Walk, hike, bike or horseback along this six mile trail that was originally built by the Santa Fe Railway in 1893. The Peavine connects with the Iron King Trail for another four mile trek along more railroad bed.

Along the way, the trail offers connections to the Shoreline Trail to the west, the Storm Trails area to the east (4 or 5 junctions) and the Headwaters Trail to the east (about a mile from the north trailhead).

Beyond the north trailhead, the trail crosses under the 89A freeway and continues north for about 1 mile to a scenic old railroad trestle crossing Granite Creek.

Take Hwy 89 to Prescott Lakes Parkway, then to Sundog Ranch Road. Shown on the NE Prescott Trails Map. Parking at the Peavine Trailhead off Prescott Lakes Parkway has a $3 fee. Alternatively, you can access this trail for free off of Hwy 89A at Side Road, from Prescott Valley Iron King trailhead, or from the trailhead on Granite Dells Road.
