Welcome to Walker Community!

Located in the Bradshaw Mountains, south of Prescott, AZ, Walker Community is an old mining district, filled with history. It’s named after Joseph Walker, mountain man, explorer, and guide. He led a party to this valley to discover gold in the summer of 1863.

Today, the valley is filled with rustic cabins and elegant homes. There’s a vibrant community of people here, with an active social calendar. Some live here full-time, while others have second homes here.

Everyone loves it here. The community is great, with pancake breakfasts and other social events.

Internet is best by https://www.walkerwifi.com/. They are solid and dependable, with fast speeds and no data limits. Cell phone is best through “Call by WiFi” on your phone, through your personal router connected to Walker WiFi. Verizon does the best straight cell service, but it’s dicey. The higher you go, the better cell reception you get. TV is by satellite or streaming Internet. We have DirectTV. We are unincorporated, so the building department is through the county, not Prescott city. Water is from wells or hauled water. Wells can be private or shared by multiple parcels. There are a few companies that haul water, and a few more that drill and maintain wells. The higher the parcel, the better the view, and the farther you have to drill for water, and the more you pay for the well. Everything is on septic. Make sure you get a permit from the county, which will mandate set backs and other stuff. Trash collection is dumpsters at the fire station. You pay a yearly fee for the combination to the locks to dump your trash. http://walkertrashcollectionservice.com/ Mail delivery is at group mailboxes around the area. FedEx and UPS deliver to your door in most places out here. We personally have a PO Box in town for important stuff. That’s a personal preference. Here’s a list of people that provide services in Walker: https://www.walkercommunity.com/walker-information/ Here’s a list of all of the property for sale in Walker, houses and land, although you can filter that. https://www.walkercommunity.com/walker-real-estate-search/

Victory! The Gold Paradise Peak Mine is for sale.

Anyone want to buy a gold mine?

The Gold Paradise Peak Mine is for sale.

The owners have given up in the face of community pressure to stop mining.

The mine will be shut down. This is a victory for the community.

The agent who has listed it called me earlier this morning to tell me that it was being listed.

His concern is that another buyer would want to create a negative impact on the community.

A developer that would subdivide it and create another bunch of lots with cabins would still increase traffic and noise.

He’d like to find someone, a benefactor, to create a […]

Fire Season Is Here

PLEASE DO NOT SET ANYTHING ON FIRE. I think that’s the main message here.

Forecasts are calling for much higher temperatures this week with a slight uptick in humidity. Fire season started a little late down south but it has become a very busy season around the state.

New fires have been starting closer to our area with multiple fires over the weekend sort of along a horizontal line from New River over toward the Tonto National Forest. Please be smart and safe with any work you need to do and please do not set anything on fire.

Fire Season Update

Please don’t burn our forest.

Email from Roger, our Fire Chief.

Hi everyone,

Just a quick note as the fire season down in the lower elevations kicked off very quickly with new fires starting, seemingly every day. The fire danger down in that part of the state has become extreme.

For now, this appears to conflict somewhat with our spring so far having a cool first half of May with even a little precipitation. The front end of the traditional fire season for us has been mild which is great, but it is heating up and things are drying out as we […]
