Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Guided Bird Walk

Learn about birds of Sonoran Desert and migrant birds on this walk with Ranger Eric in a desert riparian area near the confluence of Morgan City Wash and the Agua Fria River. We will meet at the Beardsley Trailhead off of Beardsley CSR Rd., accessed on the north side of Hwy. 74 immediately east of the highway bridge over the Agua Fria River (see map: https://www.maricopacountyparks.net/assets/1/6/lake-pleasant-8×111.pdf). We will hike on the Beardsley Trail for at least 1 mile, which is rated as easy, with slightly rocky or uneven surfaces in places. Please wear sturdy footwear and sun protection and carry ample water and snacks for yourself. The walk may be shortened if extreme heat is forecasted.

*There is a self-pay station (bring cash) for the park entrance fee, which is $7 per vehicle. Maricopa County Parks annual passes also accepted.
