Wood, Jr., who created the master plans for each of the community developments of McCulloch Properties, Inc., the original master developer of Fountain Hills. The nozzle was built in Zurich, Switzerland, weighs nearly a ton and is more than seven feet in length. The fountain draws from a 33-acre, million gallon lake and reaches a height of 330 ft. with two pumps for 15 minutes on the hour from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily. On special occasions, the fountain can attain 560 ft. with all three pumps running. In the event of winds exceeding 10 mph, the fountain will automatically shut down. The view from this area of the lake gives you a panorama of the hillside home developments surrounding Fountain Park. There is a hiking trail that runs along the ridge that wanders through a land preserve owned by The Town of Fountain Hills. Beyond the ridge and to the right is a prominent central Arizona landmark, Four Peaks. The highest point of the Mazatzal Mountain Range, Four Peaks rises to 7,694 feet in elevation. A lookout point near the top provides an outstanding overview of the Lower Verde Valley. It can be accessed from a forest road and a four-wheel drive trail.
