Expand MapA beautiful segment of the Salt River, within the Salt River Canyon Wilderness. The terrain is classic Sonoran desert and the location sits in the shadow of nearby Rockinstraw Mountain to the southwest. Activities consist of hiking, backpacking, swimming, and fishing. All river hiking is easy to moderate and all off-trail. Recommended route options are both upstream and downstream with multiple swimming/fishing holes. The trailhead parking area is located above the river at a large permanently locked gate put in place by the Tonto National Forest. Vehicle river access is not available.

To hike
Access is off Highway 188 via Wheatfields Road (See GPS driving route)... Highway 188 - Wheatfields Road - Hicks Road - FR219 (Horseshoe Bend Road)

From Mesa Arizona take Highway US 60 to Miami. Turn left at Highway 188 to Roosevelt Lake. Travel 4.5 miles north. The first 4.5 miles of highway 188 have two northbound lanes and two southbound lanes. Stay in the right lane while traveling north. The right lane ends at Wheatfields Road, which is where you will be exiting. Travel northwest on Wheatfields Road while paralleling highway 188 for 1.7 miles through a residential area. At 1.7 miles there is an abandoned slump-block building. Turn right at the slump-block building onto Hicks Road, which will soon go over a bridge crossing Pinal Creek. Pinal Creek is a wide sand wash. Once across the bridge, travel northwest on Hicks Road paralleling Pinal Creek for 2.3 miles to FR219. Just before reaching FR219, you will drive past a large well kept horse ranch on your left. At the beginning of FR219, there is a gate with a "Private Land Access Sign-In Book". FR219 is in a large sand wash. You will be driving through private land for about one mile. The private land ends at a cattle guard in the sand wash. Drive northeast along FR219 (Horseshoe Bend Road) from the gate for approximately 11.0 miles to the designated TH parking area (see maps).
