Trail Overview

This is a very nice loop between Horseshoe Dam Road and Bartlett Lake Road that takes you through varied terrain and some very interesting rock formations. This trail is part of the St. Clair OHV trail system and was opened to the public on April 6, 2024. This area was decimated by fire several years ago, but it has grown back very nicely. The trail has a wonderful overlook view of Bartlett Lake and the entire area. If you use this trail system, you will need a Tonto National Forest Off-Highway Vehicle Permit (6 months for $6) which can be purchased at recreation.gov.
