Briefly about the general area:
The beauty of mother nature reveals herself at Castersen Seep, and why not go to nearby North Fork Deadman Creek since you're here at Barnhardt Trail. Life's too short to enjoy all the cool stuff in the Mogollon Rim Mountains.
Barnhardt Trail is delightful enough to spend more than a day at, Oxbow Estates RV Park is a delightful local campground, and a splendid place to stop by nearby is Sandy Saddle. I can't stop, cause I'm havin' a perfect time here at Barnhardt Trail. Don't forget to take a fine little
trip to Center Creek, and a pleasant trip to Maverick Basin is a good way to spend an afternoon.
A visit to Malpais Spring will fill your spirit with splendid feelings, and if you come at the right time of year, East Verde River offers some perfect whitewater. So many exciting
things in the Mogollon Rim Mountains, just extraordinary. Whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then we recommend Tonto Creek. A tremendous place to camp here at Barnhardt Trail is Kool Oaks Trailer Park, and since you're here at Barnhardt Trail it's a nice idea to go to Y Bar Basin.
