Goldfield Ghost Town
A restored 1890s gold-mining town with plank boardwalks, mine tours, a narrow-gauge train and cowboy gunfight shows.
Goldfield was once a gold-mining town at the foot of the Superstition Mountains. It has now been restored to its original appearance as a Western-themed attraction, with saloons, general stores and museums lining the streets. Visitors can take underground mine tours, ride the narrow-gauge train around the town, try gold panning, and, on weekends, watch cowboy gunfight shows. Entry to the town is free, and each activity is charged separately. It is at the start of the Apache Trail, so it pairs well with Lost Dutchman State Park and Canyon Lake on the same day.
