Parks & Trails - Fire Ban

The Pinal County Parks & Trails Department will initiate a fire ban from Wednesday, May 1, 2024, until Monday, September 30, 2024, for all Pinal County-managed parks, trails, and trailheads. For a complete list of locations, click here.

The fire ban does not allow campfires, fire pits, and charcoal grills; this includes use in our developed campgrounds and picnic areas. However, using gas/propane grills in designated areas such as semi-developed and developed camping sites is still acceptable. Smoking is prohibited in all areas.

Those who violate the fire ban may be cited under Title 16, Chapter II., Section 16-20 (j) Fires - of the Pinal County, AZ, Code, which could include up to a Class 2 misdemeanor.

While September 30th is the fire ban lift date, an extension is possible. Parks & Trails staff will monitor precipitation levels and vegetation conditions in the parks throughout the summer to determine if an extension is necessary.
