Fun Spots Near the Happy Jack, Arizona Cabin - Mack's Crossing

This is Mack's Crossing - Just South of the Clear Creek Subdivision (where the cabin is located). This is a good place for swiming and it's also a nice hike from the cabin. The trail to Mack's Crossing( FR 137) is a short, easy hike into East Clear Creek, it's rocky but not too steep. The creek is one of the rare, perennial (permanently flowing) streams in Arizona, the creek is always flowing. The trail is mostly well away from the water so, be sure to pack in water you may need for drinking. Make sure to purify what you take to drink from the creek. Flow in the creek is from the outfall from Blue Ridge Reservoir. There are several swimming holes, be sure to check the water for debris and rocks before jumping in. It's never a good idea to jump in head first. The road is closed to passenger vehicles and, though all recreational uses are allowed, the trail is quiet. Be sure to follow the leash rule, however, because you will occasionally see off road vehicles on this trail.
