Review:
Lost Dutchman State Park is a 320-acre park located in the Sonoran Desert near the Superstition Mountains in central Arizona, about 40 miles from Phoenix. The park was named after the Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine, a legendary lost Old West gold mine.
There are several hiking trails that lead from the park into the Superstition Wilderness and Tonto National Forest. One of the easier trails is the Native Plant Trail, while the challenging Siphon Draw Trail leads those looking for more of a challenge to the top of the Flatiron.
If you come in the spring and there has been enough rainfall, you will be greeted by a colorful carpet of wildflowers and might spot native wildlife such as coyote, javelin, mule deer, and jackrabbit. There is also a four-mile long mountain bike loop trail to give bikers good exercise.
