Wild and untouched, the Verde River Greenway in Cottonwood is a lush oasis against Arizona’s desert landscape. While tourism is encouraged in the area, many efforts are also made to conserve the river and its thriving ecosystem. As such, visitors are welcome to enjoy soft recreation activities such as swimming, kayaking, hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, and picnicking. Whatever the activity, a variety of wildlife can be admired in the area including black hawks, bald eagles, river otters, and many more. Visitors with a valid fishing license are also welcome to fish along the river. Camping is not allowed within the greenway, however a number of campsites and cabins are available nearby.
