The family-oriented trail system is well-marked for the safety of our visitors. The 5-mile network consists of interconnecting loops leading to vistas of red rock or the lush greenery of Oak Creek.The Eagle’s Nest Loop and the Apache Fire Loop are joined together by the Coyote Ridge Trail. Eagle’s Nest is the highest point in the park, with an elevation gain of 300 ft.

The Javelina Trail takes you into the pinyon/juniper woodlands and back to the other loops.Bikes and horses are allowed only on the East Gate Trail.
There is abundant wildlife in the park with regular sightings of mule deer, javelina, coyotes, and bobcats, as well as a wide variety of birds. The park is part of the Lower Oak Creek Important Birding Area (IBA) and hosts diverse bird species every season.Blacktail rattlesnakes are seen on occasion during the warmer months as well as tarantulas, lizards, and some non-venomous snakes.
