Happy Trails Hiking Group
“Happy Trails” hike! Join us!
Wednesday, Oct. 27th - 9 AM - Upper & Lower Goldwater Lake Loop
We will hike the very new loop trail around both Upper & Lower Goldwater Lakes. Our hike will begin at 9:00 and will be 3 miles total. The hike is on a dirt trail with some elevation change and some slippery sand. We will hike along the shore of the upper lake to the upper dam and then continue on to the lower lake dam, with great lake views and perhaps some wildlife along the way. At the lower dam, the trail turns to skirt the backside of the bottom dam. The loop then continues along the opposite shore of both lakes, ending back at the parking lot. The loop is quite scenic through the forest and around the lakes.
Directions to Goldwater Lake:
At the intersection of Gurley St. and Mt. Vernon Ave., turn south onto Mt. Vernon Ave. (Mt. Vernon becomes Senator Highway.) Travel about 4 miles on Mt. Vernon/Senator Highway. Shortly past the Prescott National Forest sign, there is a small sign on the right that says “Goldwater Lake – Next Right”. Turn right onto Goldwater Lake Road. We will meet in the first parking lot to the left after the pay station (parking is free on Wednesday).
Hikes are open to anyone! Bring water, and a walking stick is recommended. Wear a hat, sunscreen, and hiking shoes. Contact Sheryl & Mark Cossey for more information.
