White Bridge - Camp Verde
Description: This is the easiest site in the Valley to access. It is a parking and picnic place right on Highway 260 as it crosses the Verde River. The River here is wide and relatively quiet and this is a favorite put-in place for kayakers. The Cottonwod stand is mature and the trail is fairly well defined. This is not a primitive area and rural housing lines the River on both sides. The trail runs along the the side of the River and, because it is lower than the area around it, the housing is not apparent. As a bonus, the Verde Ranger District office of the Prescott National Forest is across the street. Administrative Agency: Prescott National Forest Restrictions and fees: There are no restrictions to hiking or parking. Access is free. Watch for fire warnings during the dry season. Elevation: 3062' Ease of road access: parking is immediately off Hwy 260 and is no an issue. Ease of hiking access: Simply leave your vehicle and walk toward the River. Approximate area size: 0.2 sq. miles Frequency of use by public: Moderately used; often as a kayak put-in.. Parking facilities: Excellent parking Non-bird Interests: Canoe and kayaking.. |

The Bird ListPlease click here to be taken to a general list of birds seen in the Verde Valley. Pay attention to the habitat notes for each species since not all are found everywhere. A list that is always under construction (see the text to the right) is the list of birds actually seen at this site. That growing list can be seen here. |
