Rabbit Creek Claims
Overview
Rabbit Creek is an easy drive, located in the Boise Basin gold district, or about 18 miles outside the historic gold mining town of Idaho City. Located off the well maintained NF 327, I have accessed these mining claims in a 2WD car. Rabbit Creek has ample water for all kinds of possibilities. There are some old workings on the wide flats upstream of the claims, showing the rich values of deposits in this stream. Along these claims however, there aren’t the stacked rocks and tailings like you would typically see, from an area being gut punched…but with the equipment we have today, lots of working area and potential. Idaho City has full services, which again is only about a 40 minute drive from these claims. There are existing mining claims that encompass all up & down Rabbit Creek (abutting these claims), and from the pictures illustrated in “Show me the Gold” (see below) & reports on the placers from the geological reports, it’s easy to understand how rich the prospects and potential is in here. As we do have some claims abutting one another, we can also offer bundle packages for multiple purchases.

Driving Directions from Boise: Take HWY 21 north out of Boise towards Idaho City (35 miles), turning right on Granite Creek Road / NF 327 (about 2 miles past Idaho City). You will stay on NF 327 (which eventually turns into Rabbit Creek Road), the claim starts at about 16 miles and extend downstream towards the NF of the Boise River (about a ½ mile further up the NF 327). The claims are marked on the side boundaries (north/south or east/west edges) along the road (on the creek side), as well as all of the corner markers.
