China Fork Claims

Crooked River 
Price: $2,000
Available

Overview

These mining claims are situated on China Fork, which is positioned about 19 miles outside of the historic mining town of Idaho City. With easy access and pavement (HWY 21) to all but the last few feet to the claims, with a well-maintained NF 393 forest service access road that extends up China Fork through the claims. China Fork has a strong history of prospecting during various gold rush eras (late 1800s, 1930s & 1980s), with evidence of hand workings, which is one of the many gold bearing tributaries of the “Crooked River” drainage, contributing to the wealth of gold discovered in the Boise Basin. But don’t just take our word for it, seeing nice color in each pan sample, speaks for itself. It is also well known for its recreational activities, with cross country skiing & snowshoeing trails along with yurts scattered throughout the area. A few of the mining claims do have good camping areas which have been labeled below.

Idaho Gold Mining may have additional abutting mining claims not listed, and will offer discounts for multiple purchases.
