RV rental Lost Dutchman State Park, AZ: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

Lost Dutchman State Park features six hiking trails for everyone, including a short, paved, wheelchair-accessible trail. The shorter, easier trails include the Discovery Trail, Native Plant Trail, and Jacob’s Crosscut Trail. These informative trails give you great introductions to the views and plant life in the Sonoran Desert. One of the more strenuous, although most scenic, trails is the four-mile Siphon Draw Trail. This incredibly scenic trail will take you up into the Siphon Draw canyon, where you can connect with the longer six-mile Flatiron climb if you’re up to it. Be sure to bring a hat and plenty of water, as temperatures can quickly rocket past 100F during the day. Mountain bikers will find four miles of singletrack around the base of Superstition Mountain. The trail is easy enough for beginning riders but more advanced riders will also appreciate the beautiful desert landscape. The adjacent Tonto National Forest features even more trails, which can be accessed from Lost Dutchman State Park; mountain bikes are not allowed in Superstition Wilderness. If exerting yourself in the hot desert doesn’t sound like fun to you, there’s still plenty to see. You’ll be able to spot a variety of wildlife year-round, including javelina, jackrabbit, and bobcat. The Sonoran Desert is home to numerous species of birds, including colorful cardinals and orioles, birds of prey, vibrant hummingbirds, and four species of owls. The best time for wildlife viewing is either early morning or late in the afternoon when temperatures are cooler, and the critters come out to feed. If you happen upon this park in the spring after periods of heavy rain, you'll be in for a treat with a beautiful display of wildflowers.
