Apache Junction section of CAP canal trail slated for construction

A section of the Central Arizona Project canal trail in Apache Junction is slated for construction, marking a development in plans for a trail system that would extend 336 miles along the CAP canal.

The Apache Junction section is tied to the broader canal-trail project. The Central Arizona Project canal runs across Arizona, and the planned trail is described as a 336-mile route.

Apache Junction section

Construction is planned for a portion of the trail in Apache Junction. The announcement identifies the city as the location for the section, but does not establish a construction date, project cost, route length or completion schedule.

Larger trail plan

The work is part of a proposed trail extending along the Central Arizona Project canal. The 336-mile scale connects the Apache Junction section to a larger regional development effort rather than a standalone local path.

What is known

The trail section has been slated for construction. Details about design, access, construction phases, funding and the agency responsible for building the Apache Junction portion have not been established in the public description of the development.

The project’s next steps will determine when construction begins and how the Apache Junction segment fits into the full 336-mile trail plan.
