This is a great place to take the family to visit! Relive the old days of Dredge mining and get a tour of the dredge. We have been there a number of times and its always interesting. Up the road...

The Yankee Fork Gold Dredge, located in the stunning central mountains of Idaho, is one of the best-preserved dredges in the lower 48 states, showcasing a rich history in gold mining. Constructed in 1940, this impressive structure, weighing 988 tons and standing 64 feet high, operated until 1952 and is now managed by the Yankee Fork Gold Dredge Association, a dedicated group of volunteers.
Visitors can explore the dredge through self-guided tours, where they will find volunteers available to answer questions and ensure safety. The site features a picture gallery with historical photographs, original documents, and artifacts, along with a gift shop that enhances the educational experience of this unique piece of mining heritage.
