McDowell Mountain is surrounded by (you guessed it!) mountains – plus numerous championship golf courses. The land is mostly a preserve, with spectacular nature views and the convenience of modern amenities close by.

The Fort McDowell Casino provides residents the perfect afternoon escape, with its regular concerts, slots, table games, and casual to high-end restaurants with nightly entertainment. Outside of the casino, you can also find outdoor activities like kayaking, horseback riding, and riding dune buggies through the Yavapai Reservation. The Beeline Highway gives direct access to big-city attractions. McDowell Mountain Regional Park is a great place to relax. It includes hiking trails, campsites, a water park, and the Wag N’ Walk pet adoption event that runs every October through April.
