Hecla is a former way station situated in Yavapai County, Arizona, United States.

[1] John Stemmer, a former trooper, set up a waystation there on Ash Creek in the 1870s for travellers on the route between Prescott and the Verde Valley.

[4] Facilities added included a root cellar, and for 18 months a post office under the name of Hecla, by which it was then known.

[6][4] As well as providing for travellers, it was an important location for social gathering for the nearby small communities.

[4] The stone corral and root cellar remain and it now exists as a historical site on the Prescott National Forest Reserve, accessed by the General Cook hiking trail.
