Attention Hot Well Dunes Recreation Area visitors!
Work in the recreation area is scheduled to begin in June 2026 and is expected to conclude in January 2027. We ask that the public plan to pack out their trash, respect construction activities, and avoid active construction areas.
The site will remain open, but visitors should expect periodic impacts to amenities such as trash receptacles, vault toilets, and developed campsites during construction. Activities like dispersed camping, off-roading, and hiking will continue to be widely available across most of the area.
Wondering what is planned? The Safford Field Office is planning work through the Great American Outdoors Act to repair and replace recreation facilities and roads in the recreation area near Safford. The work includes upgrading camping areas, completing a campground host site, relocating hot tubs to avoid flood damage, and improving roads and walkways for better access.
