AvailableClear Creek
Overview
Clear Creek, a gold bearing tributary of Grimes Creek, is fed by nearby Jackson and Wilson Peaks. These are the same source providers for the Grimes Creek and Elk Creek tributaries which are historically famous for their gold production. The creek about 5 miles downstream passes by historic Pioneerville and mountains of dredge pilings from the old dredge work done on the lower portion of Clear Creek. This portion of Clear Creek is nestled amongst narrow forested valley walls which prevented old time miners from dredging in this area leaving the creek virtually untouched. Test holes dug all throughout Clear Creek, found bedrock varying roughly between 3-6 feet deep.
The claim is surrounded by forested mountains with good road access in a region rich in gold history. There are open camping areas scattered throughout Clear Creek, and on the claims themselves have listed some of those areas. These claims are a unique offering, with dredging season, good access, along with considerable privacy for those who wish to get away from it all. Full services are available at Idaho City about 14 miles away.
