Community
[edit]Munds Park is widely regarded for its variety of outdoor recreation opportunities in all seasons. The Munds Park Trail System is a collection of trails surrounding the town designated for hiking, mountain biking, and ATVs. It is an extremely popular summer destination for off-road and All-Terrain Vehicles.[8] The Arizona Trail passes between Munds Park and Mormon Lake. At large camping is allowed in the adjacent Coconino National Forest for portions of the year.[9]
Several lakes can be found in the area. Located directly in Munds Park is Lake O'Dell, a small lake created by an earthen dam on Munds Creek. Lake O’Dell is popular among kayakers and local fishermen. It is a haven for both migratory and non-migratory bird species, including ospreys and bald eagles. Other nearby lakes used for outdoor recreation include Lake Mary and Mormon Lake, Arizona's largest natural lake, along with dozens of springs and natural ponds known as tanks.
Munds Park is located within Arizona Hunting Unit 6A, and is among the richest units for elk, deer, and other large game in the United States. 6A is heavily forested and is crossed by dozens of dirt roads.[10] Also located in Munds Park is Pinewood Country Club, a private 18-hole championship golf course.
The official paper of Munds Park since 1993 is the Pinewood News. The paper notes events, history and local news.
