Grimes Revenge
This amazing 15 acre placer mining claim, is located on the lower portion of the historic Grimes Creek, within the area that is open to dredging year-round. The site has easy access (even by car), with a nice creekside camping area right “on” the claim, large enough for RVs, or other camping adjacent on the south side of the claim. There is a bridge on the south side of the claim, for easy access to either side of the river. Even with this being 15 acres, there is over 1300 feet of creek to work on the claim, with lots of bench to also explore. This is a short 30-40 minute drive from Boise, located about 3.5 miles up Grimes Creek road (from HWY 21). Lots of color to be had on this site, just see the results from a day of putting a dredge in the water.
