Captain's Trail is one of the rocky singletrack trails on the east side of Watson Lake. You get pretty sweet views of the reservoir from this trail and some of the other trails in the trail system. You can get to this path from different directions, but the Peavine Trail is the most popular access trail.

Hiking

Captains Trail provides the closest western access to the Storm Ranch trail system from the West Peavine trail Prescott city parking lot. The Storm Ranch trail system has been developed in stages in the 2020s. For hikers it required a few miles hiking just to access, until the Gateway trail opened and made these trails more readily accessible.
