Black Canyon Trail

Agua Fria River

Highlight • River

The water level within the Agua Fria River fluctuates depending on the time of year and the amount of recent precipitation. That being said, there is almost always some sort of flow in the riverbed. This is a popular resting point along the Black Canyon Trail since there are some shade trees down next to the water.
