Chaves Trail - An Historic and Community Connector Trail. Links State Route 179 to I-17 to the Montezuma Well Road. It then goes to Beaver Creek and the Benson Road, to the Reay Road, to the Montezuma Castle area, and then to the Montezuma Castle Road.

ADOT Thank You Letter Address - Our community will have a safer entrance for many years to come due to the completion of the McGuireville Interchange Ramp Improvement Project which widened and lengthened all of the entrance and exit ramps. This was a very challenging engineering, design, and construction project. We hope that residents and users of the interchange will take the time to send a few words of appreciation to the ADOT staff, State Transportation Board, and Project Contractors and Crew at www.azdot.gov. Please click on the Contact ADOT button in the upper right-hand corner of the home page. www.azdot.gov/index.asp

A community transportation system will need to accommodate smart growth, quality of life issues, environmental and safety issues and the preservation of the area’s rural character. As the area’s population and densities increase in accordance to its platted subdivisions and proliferation of lot splits, the need to prepare for future transportation needs becomes critical. Alternate and emergency access for the safety of residents of the planning area is of greatest priority, followed by recreational access to trails and public lands.
Roadways in the Beaver Creek area are a combination paved and unpaved County maintained, Forest Service roads and private roadways which are occasionally maintained. Overall transportation system for the Beaver Creek area is impacted by an ad hoc network of roadways and easements, the course of Wet and Dry Beaver Creek, the area’s historical significance and a rugged rural terrain.

COALITION
VOLUNTEERS
MRM Trails Coalition
Working to develop a network of existing and proposed local and connector trails and pathways in the Beaver Creek area. Trail types are identified as follows:
- Community Connector Trail–These trails connect one community to another i.e. McGuireville to Camp Verde.
- Circle Community Trail–These trails circle a community. They are very useful to avoid proliferation of “social” trails from everyone’s back yard and allow residents and visitors to circle private subdivisions, access specific secondary trails, access trailheads and avoid interference to private land while protecting soil, water resources and vegetation.
- Feature Access Trail–These trails provide access to a popular natural feature such as a rock outcrop, scenic view, creek etc.
- General Recreational Trail–These trails provide general recreational access for exercise, hiking, mountain biking, or horseback riding.
- Historic Trail–Trails that were known to exist prior to WW II and should be protected by the National Historic Preservation Act and/or used as recreational or adaptive re-use of a historic trail.
