Jail Trail
Description: This area is a delight to anyone living in the Cottonwood area because it is easily accessed off the old jail parking area on Main St. in Old Town Cottonwood. The trail begins by cutting through a Cottonwood riparian area which is surprisingly dense and isolated from the urban town. Soon the trail opens to a rocky washed flood plain of the Verde River and follows the River downstream for approximately a mile. It ends at the access road to Dead Horse SP which is an easy walk away.
