Confirmed from Prescott Peavine Trailhead's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Flat lakeside trail popular for hiking and biking.
What runners say about Prescott Peavine Trailhead
“It is a place to see with a Lake to hike around a trail to ride and a picnic to be anywhere among the beautiful landscape of Watson Lake !”
Great Trail with Beautiful views at different spots along the way. It’s good for walking, biking, your dog, etc. One thing you might want to know is that even though this is a mostly flat trail, there are a lot of rocks jutting out of the ground, so be careful, easy to trip.
This is a lovely trail suitable for the beginners (more advanced hikers could use Watson Lake Trail through multiple connectors. Peavine trail is bit boring and dusty on the first part, further up it is beautiful.
This is an easy out-and-back trail with very little elevation change. Goes as far as you want but keep in mind you've got to get back. At about 1.5 miles in there are stunning views of Watson Lake.
Very nice trail. Very easy no incline . Groomed small rocks great for bicycles. 3.00 to park bring cash put receipt in window of vehicle
