Hassayayampa River Preserve Wickenburg, AZ

Hassayayampa River Preserve is located near the town of Wickenburg, Arizona. Native American Indians lived, hunted and grew corn on the banks of the stream (river). In the 1800's the area became known as the Wickenburg Dude Ranch, or "The Garden of Allah". In 1987 the area became the Preserve. Cottonwood trees dominate the area. The seeds germinate in the wet sediment. Where the soil deposits are thick then Mesquite grow. The Preserve is part of the Maricopa County Parks; therefore, there is a fee. If you are planning on returning or visiting the other Maricopa County Parks, its recommended to purchase an annual pass.
