Good trail. It really goes forever. We saw no real trash or homeless. There were other bikers and walkers in this area. No shade so definitely a winter ride.
We parked at Thunderbird Paseo Park. Seemed safe with others parked there. This was just sort of exploring for us. We rode north for 2 1/2 miles and on TrailLink it shows the trail ending but it flowed right into the Stadium Trail. That ended at a busy street but I’m sure you could have crossed the road to the other side of the canal. We turned around and rode back past the park for several miles. Another busy street. Crossed the bridge on a safe sidewalk separated from traffic. Rode up the other side of the canal. You can cross the river bottom at several places and go back and forth. bottom
Love the underpasses and option to choose either side of the wash in most places. Really beautiful!
I rode only the northern portion until I couldn’t take it anymore. Every underpass was a homeless encampment. Trash. garbage, etc blocked the trail and made it dangerous to ride. Not recommended.
We parked at Rio Vista Community Park. Beautiful Park. Lots of people and parking. From the Park you can also access Skunk Creek Trail which we got on by accident for a few miles but then turned around and came back and got the New River Trail. We did the section on both sides of the river (dry! lol) but quite a few beautiful Palo Verde trees along the trail. Will go back and head further south from the park towards Sun City. Nice trail with no street crossing interruptions.
Really enjoyed this trail. Close to our resort and easy access. Not busy during the week. Well marked, going again today.
Nice overall, but could use some repair and better trail markings. Great length.
Beautiful path and very, very clean. Completed entire path from south to north and back again and my only suggestion is to add a crosswalk crossing N 100th St to and from Horizon Park at the north end. This will keep cyclists and pedestrians much safer. Otherwise, I felt extremely safe the rest of the way. Loved it!
Take the right fork to continue onto Iron King Trail.
After reading the reviews for this trail, we were surprised at the very lose gravel (?) and excessive mud. We were riding on a warm (mid-50s) day following a snowfall the week prior. The first 3.5 miles from the trailhead off of Prescott Lake parkway offered interesting views and geological features. The next 2 miles was in an area being developed for homes. Nothing special despite the signage talking about the loss of prairie habitat. We should have taken the left fork onto Iron King Trail.
Rio Vista Community Park a great hidden gem in the city. Path poorly marked, ended up zigzagging back to be on the correct path.
