About

Our personalized, how-to demonstrations will quickly have you panning like a pro, all while sharing some local humor and history.

The Gold Panning adventure takes place at our panning site, conveniently located on our property adjacent to Clear Creek. The site is equipped with rustic water troughs set up under a log structure, which is covered by a tarp for protection from wind and rain.

Rain or shine, our tarp-covered log structure ensures a comfortable and dry experience.

Depending on the salmon run, we can often spot salmon in the creek.

While we cannot predict the exact amount of gold or gems you will find, we ensure that every bag of our pay dirt contains flakes of gold and other semi-precious stones. This guarantees that everyone has the opportunity to discover and take home their very own Alaskan gold and gems!

Please arrive on time for check-in at our office at 10:30am/4:30pm
