Rabbit Galore
Rabbit Creek Sold
Rabbit Creek is an easy drive, about 12 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 downstream of this claim, 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 20 to 30 minute drive from these claims. There are existing mining claims that encompass all up & down Rabbit Creek (abutting these claims to the north & south), 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.
- Acreage: 20 acre unpatented placer claim
- River footage: 1500’ North Rabbit Creek (Camping area on claim)
- Location: Boise County, Township 6N, Range 6E, Sec.25, NE ¼
- Mining claim serial #: ID105296100

Overview
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 a mile past Idaho City). You will stay on NF 327 (which eventually turns into Rabbit Creek Road), for 10 miles. Turn left (north on NF 322)…there is a sign that says “German Cr.” that direction, but German Creek is farther in back in on that road. The claim starts about ¾ of a mile from NF327.
