WHISKEY ROW
Whiskey Row is a part of Prescott’s downtown historic
district that is especially concentrated with historic
saloons. The area developed after a devastating fire in 1900
destroyed an entire city block in downtown Prescott. Many
bars were built in the reconstruction, and at one point they
numbered forty saloons on one block. The concentration of
saloons is indicative of the type of visitors Prescott attracted
during the time. The gold rush drew cowboys, prospectors,
gamblers, and a fair share of outlaws to the small town.
These days, Whiskey Row is known for art galleries and
candy shops in addition to the saloons that have made it
famous.
THUMB BUTTE TRAIL 33
Thumb Butte Trail 33 is a 2.5 mile long loop trail located
within the Prescott National Forest. The trail is quite
popular and is heavily trafficked. The difficulty level is rated
as moderate, though much of the trail is paved and features
clearly marked signs. The primary uses are hiking, nature
walks, and road biking. The park is open year round and
provides numerous opportunities to see local wildlife such
as deer no matter the season. The top of the trail offers a
great panoramic view of Prescott and the surrounding area.
Dogs are permitted on the trail provided they are leashed.
GOLDWATER LAKE
Goldwater Lake is a reservoir formed by a dam on Bannon
Creek south of Prescott. The park offers several recreational
