Gold Panning (Fools gold)

When attending as a registered camp guest, take a stroll back to the 1849 gold rush and try your hand at panning for gold in our artificial gold slough.

Read about how gold is deposited and enjoy this hands-on experience with the whole family. There is no cost for this self-guided activity. Students at our Sponsored Outdoor Education Camps receive instruction on the process as part of their class.

Please note, gold panning is not allowed in our creek/pond and historically, gold has never been found in our creek drainage.
