Things to Do in Strawberry
Lose track of time in the surrounding Tonto National Forest preserve and marvel at the majesty of the hundred-year-old giant Ponderosa Pines. With seven lakes nearby, visitors can also try their hand at fishing.
A walk around the town itself is a step back in time, Strawberry’s oldest inhabitants were Gold rush settlers. Check out the oldest one-room schoolhouse in Arizona – Strawberry Schoolhouse (est. 1885) which is open for tours.
Strawberry is also just 10 miles from the Tonto Natural Bridge, the world’s largest natural bridge at 150-feet wide.
