Page Springs, Arizona, is a unique and tranquil rural community nestled in a high desert valley between Sedona's legendary Red Rock beauty and the bustling town of Cottonwood. Located along Oak Creek with its large and ancient cottonwood trees and bordered by more than 2000 acres of National Forest, Page Springs was established by James Page, great grandfather of current the Page family, in 1894, This quiet, little community has much to offer. It is reminiscent of "the way Sedona used to be".
As you turn off scenic Hwy 89A onto Page Springs Road, you can't help but relax into the beauty and solitude of the high desert country. Meander a mile along Page Springs Road and you find Page Springs B&B and Vacation Home at Rancho Feliz with two expansive homes tucked away on eight acres below the ruins of an ancient Sinagua community at the base of a large natural amphitheater.
Less than a mile further down the road, you discover Bubbling Pond Hatchery, the largest state-run hatchery in the country for raising endangered species of fresh water fish, saving them from the possibility of extinction. With the 100 springs that feed Oak Creek in Page Springs, here also is the migratory corridor for more than 500 species of birds traveling from Canada to South America - a bird watcher's paradise with more than 120 species found at the hatchery itself.
Meander along the mile and a half trail that takes you to the banks of Oak Creek. Or hop in your car, drive a few yards and park by the bridge where there is public access to the Creek. Enjoy the peaceful creek, cast a line, have a picnic or take a walk. Down the road is the much larger
Page Springs Hatchery and Visitor's Center.
