Lost Dutchman State Park
Named after the fabled lost gold mine,
Lost Dutchman State Park is located in
Apache Junction in the Sonoran Desert, 40
miles east of Phoenix. Several trails lead from
the park into the Superstition wilderness and
surrounding Tonto National Forest.
Take a stroll along the Native Plant Trail or
hike the challenging Siphon Draw Trail to the
top of the Flatiron. Depending on the year’s
rainfall, you might be treated to a carpet of
desert wildflowers in the spring. Stay in our
new comfortable camping cabins and enjoy a
weekend of camping!
Thank you for visiting!
