New River Trailhead at Fletcher Heights

Very nice trail, lots of easy to read mile markers and plenty of benches along the way if you get tired. The people are very friendly and courteous. Refrigerated water fountain with dog fountain and bottle fill ups and a nice covered sitting area at this particular rest area.

Gorgeous tropical-looking walking path in a neighborhood. It’s so peaceful, even though it’s surrounded by houses. The only thing that might disturb the tranquility are the occasional bikers and motorcyclists. Despite its isolation, the hustle and bustle of the nearby roads are still audible.

I love that the city is adding these new trailheads to the New River Trail. My daughter and I park here to ride on a regular basis. The cold water station and the shaded picnic table are fantastic additions.

Peoria has done a nice job making the trail useful. There is a bike repair station air/wrench. The trail is paved concrete for walking/ riding. Someday it will connect all the way north to dixleta. To the south it connects pretty far, plus you can tap into the Glendale trails.
