Ghost Town in Goldfield

The renowned Apache Trail, which stretches 40 miles from Apache Junction to the Theodore Roosevelt Dam, combines thrilling outdoor activities with Wild West history. Travelers can explore re-created boom towns, fish in abundant lakes, and take in the expansive Sonoran Desert from a variety of vantage points. Additionally, you should tour Native American cliff dwellings in Tonto National Forest and take a picturesque riverboat trip on Canyon Lake.

Goldfield Ghost Town near Apache Junction features realistically built structures and Western attractions to recreate life in the Old West.

There’s another trail that winds across Mesa. The Fresh Foodie Trail offers 11 agritourism destinations where you may taste regional cuisine at wineries, olive farms, urban gardens, and other locations. Highlights include enjoying Arizona-style barbecue at Jalapeno Bucks and learning how to raise your own produce at True Garden.

Water Recreation at Your Fingertips

Boating, fishing, and a variety of water sports are made possible by three lakes and two rivers located immediately outside Mesa. To capture largemouth bass, crappie, and catfish, throw a line into Roosevelt Lake, Saguaro Lake, or Apache Lake. Flick your pole into Canyon Lake to catch rainbow trout. All three lakes offer storage and camping facilities, as well as boat rentals. The Salt River, which flows through the Tonto National Forest and is the nearest river to the town, is a great place to go rafting and kayaking. Additionally popular is tubing, particularly throughout the spring and summer.
