FIRE BAN CURRENTLY IN PLACE...
The fire ban includes the use of campfires, fire pits and charcoal grills; however, it is still acceptable to use gas/propane grills in designated areas such as the ramada areas, semi-developed and developed camping sites and along the shoreline at Lake Pleasant Regional Park. If necessary, additional details will be posted on park specific pages under the "Alert" section in the upper right hand corner of the page.
A date to lift the fire ban has not been identified and will be determined by the amount of rain
Maricopa County receives during the monsoon season.

Event is on! Bring a Flashlight--Full Wolf Moon Hike - Pemberton Trail- McDowell
McDowell Mountain Regional Park
Update-- the Hike is on. However, please be prepared with proper rain gear, as it is likely to rain at some point during the hike. **The Full Moon Hike will be canceled if it rains. Check back here or call the park for updates. We will make a decision by 4:30pm, Friday.** January's full moon is the 'Full Wolf Moon'. There are no wolves in the Phoenix area, but did you know that there is a small population in Northern Arizona? We’ll listen for the howls of their smaller cousin, the coyote, on this full-moon hike, and learn about the reintroduced Mexican gray wolf in Arizona. Meet at the Trailhead Staging Area. Hike is approximately 3 miles and 2 hours. PLEASE BRING A FLASHLIGHT AS IT IS COMPLETELY OVERCAST. No pets please. Hiking time is 2 hours, 3 miles. BRING RAIN GEAR (poncho or raincoat).
