This network of trails serves the White Spar Campground and provides access to other Forest Service trails. These trails can be combined in different ways to create loops of varying lengths. The trails, which meander through tall pines, are nicely shaded. Despite being close to a large, popular campground, this forested area is serene and quiet. Nearby lakes and streams attract a diverse community of southwestern birds, making these trails excellent for birdwatching. There are also many kinds of wildflowers that one can expect to see during different times of the year. The White Spar loop trails can be used to access [Goldwater Lake Trail #396](https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/prescott/recreation/recarea/?recid=67327). This trail continues all the way to Senator Highway, in the Groom Creek area, and offers great views of Upper and Lower Goldwater Lake. Although the Goldwater Lake Trail #396 does not actually go to the lake itself, it can be reached by way of a number of short, well-marked City of Prescott trails.

**Directions:**
Travel north on White Spar Road 1.8 miles past its junction with Copper Basin Road. Turn left at the sign for White Spar Campground. Park in the lot to the right and travel a short distance on Trail #396
***Each participant in any of these hikes assumes total responsibility for his or her own safety and well-being.***
