Rock Creek is a beautiful year-round creek with multiple mining opportunities. There are numerous gravel deposits in this stretch of the creek which have great potential for sluicing and panning. Abundant bedrock outcroppings provide rewarding metal detecting experiences. This section of the creek is fully “claimed-up” which demonstrates the richness of the area. There is also a nice swimming hole to cool off in after a day of prospecting.

Access is by Rock Creek Road which is a well maintained gravel road. 2wd access to the claim is on a two-track that leads to the ridge above the creek. This area makes an ideal campsite because it is large, flat, and off of the main road. Right down the road is a Forest Service Campground with picnic tables and a bathroom. The campground is RV/Motorhome friendly. Summertime temperatures here range from night time lows in the 50s to day time highs in the 90s.

Don’t forget the barbecue!
