Apache Trail (State Route 88)
State Route 88 at milepost 222, public road reference, Maricopa County, AZ
About this trail
The Apache Trail follows Arizona State Route 88 through the Superstition Mountains between Apache Junction and Roosevelt Lake. The unpaved section near Fish Creek Vista has steep, narrow bends and exposed edges. ADOT’s current notice says the road is open at milepost 222 with four-wheel-drive-only and no-trailer signs posted. Follow those restrictions and check AZ511 before departing: storms, flooding and rockfall can change access quickly. Do not rely on the older description of an easy, well-maintained drive or a fixed travel time. The pin marks ADOT’s milepost 222 reference near Fish Creek Vista, not a parking space. The three original images are historical views of the road and canyon.
