About this claim
Crow Creek Mine is a pay-to-dig site located in Girdwood, Alaska, approximately 40 miles south of Anchorage. Members have reported that the terrain is accessible, with a mix of paved and gravel roads leading to the site, though conditions can be muddy after rain. Prospecting activities primarily involve gold panning, with some visitors also using sluice boxes. Members have noted that the best time for panning is during low water conditions, as gold tends to accumulate in high flood piles and deeper areas of the creek. The site features preserved mining artifacts and offers a unique blend of history and hands-on prospecting experiences. Current operating hours are from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM daily, with an admission fee of around $20 per adult.
