• Verde River - The Verde River, one of the rare free-flowing rivers in Arizona, begins in the highlands near Paulden, nourished by Big Chino Wash and other springs. It travels southeast for approximately 170 miles through central Arizona, cutting through rugged canyons and lush riparian areas before arriving at the Verde Valley. In the Verde Valley, particularly in Cottonwood and Camp Verde, the river forms a fertile oasis, supporting diverse ecosystems with cottonwood, willow, and mesquite forests, along with wildlife such as otters, beavers, and bald eagles. Its clear, spring-fed waters support agriculture, recreational activities like kayaking and fishing, and cultural sites linked to the Sinagua people, including Tuzigoot National Monument. The river’s flow slows in the valley, winding through picturesque landscapes before proceeding toward its junction with the Salt River. Recognized as a Wild and Scenic River in certain sections, it serves as a crucial lifeline in Arizona’s dry landscape.
