Forest Closures:

Due to fire danger, segments of the Maricopa Trail have been temporarily closed on all State Trust Land right-of-ways and through the Tonto National Forest (except on the north side of Bush Highway along the Salt River). Below is an updated map of current impacts to the trail system:
