Hassayampa River Preserve, Natural preserve along Hassayampa River in Wickenburg, Arizona
The Hassayampa River Preserve encompasses a section of river that surfaces above ground, creating a water-rich environment within the Sonoran Desert landscape.
The Nature Conservancy managed this land independently until 2017, when Maricopa County Parks and Recreation Department joined as co-owner to enhance conservation efforts.
The preserve functions as an educational center where visitors learn about riparian ecosystems through guided programs and interpretive trails along the riverbanks.
The preserve opens Wednesday through Sunday from 7 AM to 4 PM during summer months and 8 AM to 5 PM in winter, with trails closing 30 minutes before park closure.
While the Hassayampa River flows underground for 100 miles through the desert, it emerges at the surface within the preserve boundaries year-round.
