Recreational activities abound here, as Prescott is surrounded by 1.2 million acres of national forest and several lakes. Hiking, horseback riding, boating, camping and soaking in the spectacular views are just the beginning of what Prescott offers. There are also two city-owned 18-hole golf courses open year-round, a historic downtown featuring plenty of shopping and dining choices and a wonderfully friendly small-town atmosphere that makes everyone feel right at home. It is no wonder Prescott is known as "Everyone's Hometown."
