< Where to Pan for Gold
Quartzville Recreation Corridor
A large section of Quartzville creek is open to public gold prospecting. While the area has been heavily worked even a beginner should have no problem finding some color in their pan. Camping is available at Yellow Bottom Campground (for a fee) and at designated camp spots along the road (free). The recreational area extends for a couple miles upstream several miles downstream of Yellow Bottom Campground, look for the signs.

I havn't personally been to all of these locations and while I try to research and present accurate information I can't guarantee it. It is necessary to throughly research any location you intend to visit before leaving home. Local clubs are a great source of information as well as State, BLM and/or Forest Service offices.
