Groom Creek Schoolhouse & Accessible Nature Trail

Groom Creek Schoolhouse & Accessible Nature Trail Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Groom Creek Schoolhouse is a beautiful river rock-clad structure with wooden floors, large windows that fill the room with sunlight, and antique chalkboards that are still in place–which can add an interesting touch to any gathering.

Outdoor facilities include a large picnic area and an amphitheatre. The schoolhouse and outdoor facilities may be reserved for use, but the building is locked when not rented. Smaller groups and individuals may visit the grounds during the day when the schoolhouse is not in use, but are asked to respect the group’s privacy when the space is rented.

Visitors may also access the paved Lion’s Club Accessible Nature Trail that winds 1500 feet through a ponderosa pine forest, allowing visitors to experience the smells and sensations of a quiet forest setting. Built by the Lion’s Club in partnership with Prescott National Forest, this unique nature trail includes tactile interpretive signs depicting various plants and animals native to the area.

If you plan to visit this site, and want to ensure that there will be ample parking, please visit the Recreation.gov to see if a group is expected on the day you plan to visit.
