1) Lake Havasu City Multi-Use Trail
This paved 8.5-mile trail is located in western Arizona, on the shores of Lake Havasu. The Lake Havasu City Multi-Use Trail follows State Route 95, beginning at Palo Verde Road. Where it ends at McCulloch Boulevard South. The route crisscrosses with the highway, even in the middle of the median for a while. Though the trail is a great alternative for driving around the city.
2) Indian Bend Wash Path
Located in Maricopa County, Indian Bend Wash Path is an 11.8-mile trail that begins at Venturoso Park. The trail follows the banks of the Indian Bend Wash between Scottsdale and Tempe, while also connecting to several parks and other public buildings, like schools.
