Bannock Creek Claims
Idaho City Sold
Overview
These mining claims are situated on Bannock Creek, which is a gold bearing tributary of Mores Creek. Another nice feature, is they are situated only about 2 miles outside of Idaho City (which has full services) on a body of water that is also open to dredging. There are a few camping areas directly “on” these two remaining available mining claims, so lots of options for your camping needs. The pictures were taken in mid-summer, so as you can see, ample water for dredging or high-banking. The gold in the pictures was taken from a 2.5 hour high-banking operation.

Driving Directions from Boise: Take HWY 21 (from I-84 Exit 57), north out of Boise for 35 miles, or about 1 miles past Idaho City. Turn right (east) onto Bannock Creek Road (NF304 turning into NF203), and stay on this for about 0.9 of a mile until you reach the mining claims. Just after the bridge, you will come to a junction (looks like a fork), the main NF 203 (to these claims) is on the left fork. You will also come to an opening (just past the state cabled off fence on the right), where it appears there is another fork, stay right. After going around the bend, be looking for a faded steel sign on the left (says Ace In the Hole III), this is the north boundary to Kim’s Run Runner. The road eventually tapers down to more of an ATV trail (midway through Brutke’s Phantom 314), where you will also find an open gate.
