Perpetual Right of Ways

To date the Arizona Trail Association has provided more than $250,000 to the beneficiaries for this non-motorized recreational trail. Additional funds will be received upon the completion of an additional pending Right of Way.  
     
In 2007, Maricopa County obtained a public Right of Way for a non-motorized trail system from the Land Trust and compensated the Trust Beneficiary “Common Schools” $490,991 for its use.  

Special Land Use Permits

Together, these businesses provided over $100,000.00 to the Trust Beneficiaries last fiscal year. A Recreation Permit is not needed to patronize these businesses on Arizona Trust Land.
