Fort Tuthill is a sprawling 413-acre county park just south of Flagstaff, and it's less a single attraction than a whole recreation complex packed onto one property. Between the fairgrounds, archery range, equestrian facilities, and a web of trails, there's enough here to fill an afternoon or a whole camping weekend — and it holds a 4.7-star rating across nearly 3,800 Google reviews.
What's on site
- Trails and bike park: reviewers single out the mountain bike park as a standout, with terrain running from beginner-friendly to genuinely technical jumps and berms, plus hiking trails through the pines.
- Disc golf: a full course used regularly by the local disc golf club.
- Fairgrounds and equestrian grounds: home to county fair events and horse-related activities, plus an archery range.
- Campground: water/sewer hookup sites and dry sites, generator power (no electrical hookups), vault toilets — reviewers note it's quiet on weeknights and busier Friday and Saturday.
In winter, part of the park turns into a seasonal snow-play area with lit sledding lanes on weekend evenings. Right next door — a separate business, not part of the county park — is FLG X Adventure Course, a ropes-and-zip-line operation reviewers often mention visiting the same trip.
- Hours: park grounds open daily, 6:00 AM – 10:00 PM
- Location: 2446 Ft Tuthill Loop, just off I-17 south of downtown Flagstaff
It's a working county park more than a polished visitor attraction — expect trailheads and ballfields over gift shops, and bring your own plan for what you want to do once you're there.
