RR-55. Complete the Black Canyon National Recreation Trail alignments from State Highway 74 to State Highway 69 and beyond. The trails will provide high-quality non-motorized recreation experiences for hikers, equestrians, and mountain bikers through the Black Canyon corridor.
RR-56. Incorporate loops, links, and trailheads for both destination and point-to-point travel into the Black Canyon Trail design. Link the communities of Black Canyon City, New River, Anthem, and Phoenix, and eventually develop a connecting trail system to include Lake Pleasant Regional Park and Tonto and Prescott National Forests.
RR-57. Establish the Black Canyon National Recreation Trail as a model of successful community partnerships. Determine exact locations of the trail or any ancillary trails and facilities, in conjunction with Maricopa and Yavapai County trails committees, local communities, equestrian and other user groups, and interested citizens. Citizen working groups will help with designation of trail alignments, design, construction, and maintenance.
RR-58. Sustain the Black Canyon Trail as an important component of the National Recreation Trail System in order to provide for the ever-increasing outdoor recreation needs of an expanding urban population and in order to promote public access to, travel within, and enjoyment and appreciation of the open-air, outdoor areas and historic resources of the Black Canyon corridor.
