Turkey Creek is a newly adopted trail that starts from Verde Valley School Road, in the lesser-traveled corner of south Sedona. The trail is adapted from old offroad and horse trails, so it's not all singletrack but still delivers some fun riding. You'll experience a mix of hardpack, soft sand, rock gardens and ledges as you venture out into the hinterlands.

To my knowledge this is the only officially adopted trail in this zone, but a web of bootleg trails, two-tracks, and washes can provide a variety of riding options (and cause confusion). The named Turkey Creek trail eventually ends at a jeep road about 5.5 miles from the start. Go as far as you like before turning around, or try to invent a loop that takes you back to your car.
