Granite Creek Downtown
Fast becoming known as the Prescott Greenways, Granite Creek Downtown provides many opportunities for a stroll beneath the shade of cottonwood and willow trees. Prescott Creeks’s first project back in the 1980’s was to establish the trail between Goodwin and Gurley Streets in the heart of downtown Prescott. In addition to the trail along Granite Creek there are two parks: Granite Creek Park and West Granite Creek Park. Granite Creek Park features towering cottonwood trees, lawns, a Ramada, picnicking, playgrounds and a trail along Granite Creek, while West Granite Creek Park has retained more of its “wild” character. From West Granite Creek Park visitors can follow trails upstream to the south along Granite Creek or upstream to the west along Miller Creek.

Directions
Granite Creek Trail: At the north end, trail is accessible from Gurley St. at The Dinner Bell Café. From the south, just drop down the steps next to the Granite Creek Café on Goodwin St.

Granite Creek Park: The main entrance for this park is from 6th St. (running parallel to Montezuma St. on its eastern side), or it can be accessed from the Depot shopping center at Sheldon & Montezuma Streets.

West Granite Creek Park: To get to this park visitors can follow the Granite Creek Trail from the main park, or jump on the Neighborhood Connector Trail just to the north of the Suzie Q restaurant at the end of Sheldon St. All of the businesses mentioned are very friendly to creek visitors, so if you stop in (which we recommend) be sure to tell them we sent you!
