Representative Trail Sign for Maricopa Trail .................................................................. 9 ii Cave Creek Ranger District, Tonto National Forest Introduction The Maricopa Trail is an approximately 310-mile non-motorized loop around the Phoenix metropolitan area that would connect parks and recreational facilities throughout Maricopa County, Arizona (Figure 1, Figure 2, and Figure 3). It is designed to be a continuous loop that connects numerous regional parks, including the following: White Tank Mountain, Lake Pleasant, Cave Creek, Spur Cross Ranch Conservation Area, McDowell Mountain, Usery Mountain, San Tan Mountain, Estrella Mountain, and Buckeye Hills. The planning process began in 1999 and was granted $5 million by the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors in 2004. The concept gives the public free access to a varied outdoor experience, although the regional parks require a nominal fee for entrance. Acquisition of land rights for the construction of the Maricopa Trail has been a lengthy process due to varying land ownership along the trail. In addition to private property acquisition, use agreements such as easements and permits have been obtained from the Arizona State Land Department, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, Tonto National Forest, Central Arizona Project, Maricopa County Flood Control District, Maricopa County Department of Transportation, and several municipalities. To date, over $3 million has been spent in land acquisition, construction, and maintenance of the trail, which is approximately 75 percent complete. Project Location The majority of the project would be located within the boundaries of the Tonto National Forest, with the exception of approximately 600 feet located along the south side of Bartlett Dam Road, which is within Maricopa County Department of Transportation right-of-way. The legal description of the location of the project is Township 7N, Range 5E, Sections 14, 15, 23, 26, 35, and 36 and Township 6N, Range 5E, Sections 1, 12, 13, 14, 15, 22, 27, and 34. The project area is situated at an elevation of 2,800 to 3,800 feet above mean sea level and is characterized by low desert surrounded by fault-block mountain ranges (Chronic 1983). The region has high temperatures and generally low precipitation. The project area is located within the foothills and mesas of the Arizona Uplands and the bajada surfaces of the lower desert environmental zones. Dominant vegetation observed along the proposed route for Segment 22 includes turpentine bush, catclaw acacia, agave, paloverde, mesquite, juniper, and several cacti, including cholla and saguaro. The largest drainage in the vicinity of the project area is Camp Creek, and seasonal seeps and springs are present. Topographic features surrounding the project area include Kentuck Mountain to the northeast and Apache Peak to the west. 1 Cave Creek Ranger District, Tonto National Forest Figure 1.

  • Maricopa Trail Intergovernmental Agreement
    Item 8 REPORTetn nmoii Meeting Date: March 21, 2017 General Plan Element: Open Space and Recreation General Plan Goal: Encourage and cooperate with other agencies to preserve and protect regional open space ACTION Resolution authorizing the City to enter in an intergovernmental agreement with Maricopa County regarding the Maricopa Trail. Adopt Resolution No. 10720 authorizing Intergovernmental Agreement No. 2017-038-COS with Maricopa County for trail signage and maintenance on the Maricopa Trail through the City of Scottsdale. BACKGROUND The Maricopa Trail is a 315 mile-long multi-use trail that connects major open spaces around the Phoenix metropolitan area. The trail was conceptualized by the Maricopa County Parks Department in 1997, with the goal of creating a continuous trail linkage between the various Maricopa County Regional Parks, and other significant regional open space areas, including the City of Scottsdale's McDowell Sonoran Preserve. The Maricopa Trail is established through two primary means: Constructing new trails for the sole purpose of being included as part of the Maricopa Trail, and designating previously existing or planned trails as part of the Maricopa Trail. The City of Scottsdale falls into the latter category, where certain existing routes within the city's trail and path network will be designated as part of the Maricopa Trail. Beginning in the early 2000's, staff from the city's Preservation Division worked closely with the planners from the county to identify existing and planned trails within the city's network that met the county's goal of regional connectivity. As the city's trail planning evolved and trails were constructed, staff from the city and county continued to work together to refine the designated route for the Maricopa Trail through the Preserve.

  • Trails and Recreational Venues, and the Specifi C Community’S Vision
    7 Economic Development Economic development opportunities vary by community and will generally be guided by regional assets, adjacent land uses, existing and planned trails and recreational venues, and the specifi c community’s vision. All three cities have existing, or planned, primary trailheads that connect to the river, with its vast natural environment and its rich variety of recreational experiences. Each community’s vision for capturing economic development opportunities is discussed in this chapter. The El Rio project corridor is truly a unique treasure in Maricopa County. This portion of the project corridor associated with the river provides habitat for wildlife and also affords a vast array of recreational opportunities not found in other parts of the Valley, including the potential for: boating, fi shing, hunting, walking, hiking, bicycling, and horseback riding. This regional resource also offers wilderness areas for passive uses, such as wildlife watching. All of these opportunities have the potential to serve as economic catalysts for the surrounding communities.
