Trail Overview

This is a fun little trail off of Apache Trail that takes you to the Apache Lake Marina. The road is narrow and goes through a sandy wash. Watch out for wild animals, as there are deer, big horn sheep, and javalina in the area. There are a lot of blind corners, so be cautious. Fun alternative way to the lake.

The trail is dirt with sand, but it's not deep. The brush is overgrown on the edges, but plenty of room to pass other vehicles. 4 Wheel Drive is not necessary to complete.

It was just a little road coming off the Apache Trail, goes right up to the water. I am pretty sure if your car made it this far on the Apache Trail (and most cars can) you can do this little road. We went with Copper Country Off-road for Angels birthday and had an amazing time! This was a great end to the trip, nice relaxing little area!
