Cochise County has announced the opening of a new, 2-mile multi-use trail around the Palominas Recharge Project.

“After months of planning and development, the trail is open to hikers, strollers, bikes and horseback riding on the county’s 285-acre recharge property. The public now has access to a safe and scenic landscape for exercise and fresh air,” Camila Rochin, county public information officer, stated in a press release.

Mark Apel, environmental projects coordinator for Cochise County, said, “We wanted to provide yet one more opportunity for the public in this area to safely recreate and learn about the county’s recharge efforts, where we’re capturing stormwater to help sustain flows in the San Pedro River.”
