Water overview
Water
The Water Canyon Trail is a moderate hike that takes visitors along a scenic canyon with a small stream running through it. The trail offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains, rock formations, and vegetation. Visitors may also spot a variety of wildlife, including mule deer, black bears, and mountain lions.
The stream along the trail is a unique feature in this arid region, and visitors can enjoy the sound of running water as they hike. The trail also offers several opportunities for swimming and wading in the stream, which is a refreshing break from the hot and dry weather of the region.
The Water Canyon Trail is not only a beautiful natural feature, but it is also a culturally significant site. The trail was historically used by Native American communities in the area for ceremonial purposes and as a source of water.
Overall, the Water Canyon Trail is a must-visit point of interest in the Gila National Forest. Visitors can enjoy a scenic hike, swim in the stream, and learn about the cultural and natural history of the region.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace
- Know before you go
- Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
- Stay on trail
- Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
- Respect wildlife
- Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
- Pack it in, pack it out
- Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
- Leave what you find
- Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
