Set against the wind-sculpted granite of Prescott’s Dells, the Peavine and Iron King corridors offer a short, elemental ride: gravel two-way track, wide water views across Watson Lake, and the occasional relic of 19th-century coal wagons. Delivered as a self-guided loop or out-and-back, this outing is designed to be simple to run on an e‑bike and richly scenic despite its brief one‑hour window.

THE HISTORY

A Trail Punctuated by Mining-Era Relics

Along the corridor you’ll encounter historic coal wagons from the 1800s—small, tangible markers of the region’s industrial past that sit quietly against the natural scenery.

THE ROUTE

Easy, Scenic Two‑Way Gravel

What the Hour Feels Like

The pace is relaxed—enough time to test the bike, stop for photos and absorb both the landscape and a few vestiges of Prescott’s mining history.
