Heading east out of Apache Junction on the N. Apache Trail, Highway 88, the First Water Road trailhead is on the right-hand side just after entering the Tonto National Forest. The trail is maintained and can be easily handled in a 2WD, but would not suggest taking a sedan. The trail runs 2.25 miles to the First Water hiking trailhead, where hikers have their choice of 15 hiking trails. No camping allowed.
