This particular segment of the trail runs from Freestone Park to Mesa, covering 8.7 miles along a peaceful, pristinely maintained canal path. As a multi-use section of both the Maricopa Trail and the Sun Circle Trail, it offers an exceptional outdoor experience for walkers, runners, and cyclists.

For residents of 966 E Divot Drive, the trail offers endless opportunities for fitness, leisure, and connecting with nature—literally steps from home.
