--PAN FOR GOLD AT THE CREEK !     

    Let us show you how to pan and provide you with all of the equipment and then head down to the creek to try your luck!  Everyone is guaranteed  a few pieces in their practice bag, and what you find at the creek is yours to keep! If you are someone who is looking for a little more out of your trip, you can reserve a history guide/miner for the day. We also have panning a shed placed closer to our entrance where access is quicker and easier for those who would rather not go to the creek. The creek is a 3-5 minute walk from our gatehouse.   Make sure to bring sensible shoes, don’t forget the bug spray, and head to hills in search of gold! 

--ACTIVITIES FOR EVERYONE !

    Crow Creek is a place where everyone can enjoy themselves. Picnic, BBQ, hiking, reading , and photography are all great ways to spend a day at the mine, even if you just need a place to stretch your legs from being in the car all day. Make sure you strike up a conversation with our friendly employees or some of the local miners while you soak in the scenery and fresh mountain air. Check out the gift shop for local arts and crafts.

--BRING YOUR CAMERA !

    Nestled in the heart of the beautiful Chugach National Forest, Crow Creek Mine is a national historic sight, home to the oldest buildings in the municipality of Anchorage, dating back to the gold rush of 1896 . Nine original buildings remain, surrounded by gardens and old equipment left by the prospectors of days gone by.
