Then later in 1125 the Sinagua Indians drew upon the well to sustain their life. Montezuma Well is a unique spot. It is surrounded by lush vegetation, yet it is in the middle of the desert. The water from the lake attracts birds. It is a beautiful spot to visit.
Visitors can hike a half-mile trail to the rim of the well.
There are other trails that wind down to the lake. You will not find a Visitor Center at Montezuma Well. There is however, a Hohokam Indian pit house exhibit along the road up to Montezuma Well. Visitors will also discover a picnic area. Montezuma Well is a part of Montezuma Castle National Monument.
