McKenzie Ranch Trails Park is a 1,700-acre
natural open space park located on the far east side of
Pima County and north of Marsh Station Road, at 12725
S. Red Hill Ranch Road.
The park is named for Asa McKenzie, a native of Virginia,
who established the ranch about 1860 at the age of 20.
McKenzie was the only settler on the Butterfield Trail
line between New Mexico and Tucson, and survived an
Indian attack that burned his ranch house to the ground.
The park is situated in the foothills of the southern Rincon
Mountains, and is located in a transition zone between
the Sonoran and Chihuahuan deserts. It occupies almost
three sections of land; the western and central sections
are mostly flat and have gently rolling terrain, with the
eastern section being more hilly with small canyons.
A 3.2 mile stretch of the Hohokam Trail runs east and
west across the park, and a 10-mile competition course
is located in the eastern section of the park consisting of
two loops for mountain bicyclists and runners.
The park’s trails are available from dawn to dusk 7 days
a week, and the competition course is available when it
isn’t occupied by a scheduled event. There are roughly 4
events per year, usually held on weekends.
