What does the MMPC Do?
The Fountain Hills McDowell Mountain Preserve ("the
Preserve") encompasses a scenic area of mountainous,
pristine land within Fountain Hills that will be preserved in
its natural state for the benefit of this and future
generations. In order for the Town to achieve tandem goals of
providing trails and trailhead locations to facilitate public
access into the Preserve and to safeguard the Preserve for this
and future generations, a thorough set of Preserve, trailhead
and trails regulations are needed. These regulations are
specifically intended to accomplish the following:
- Maintain the existing undisturbed, desert environment of
the Preserve.
- Provide for Preserve use regulations that will maintain
wildlife habitat and limit human encroachment to specific
areas within the Preserve.
- Provide use regulations for the Central Trailhead that
will provide public access into the Preserve.
- Provide use regulations for the Golden Eagle Trailhead,
including access control into the Preserve through McDowell
Mountain Park.
- Provide for the development of a trail system within the
Preserve and connectivity to abutting trail systems in the
City of Scottsdale and within McDowell Mountain Park.
