Kevin is spot on! You needed to turn to the other left at Badger creek! You drive through the creek about 100 ft then turn right, turn right up out of the creek and up the steep bank.
Just as Kevin suggested!
Thanks

I’ve had streamers of gold in the sluice on my dredge. Just get in the main channel and dredge gold – fine but lots of it, I’ve had 2 and 3 gram weekends!

Hi Ken,
Thanks for the access update for that site. In the article, I DO mention that the eastern access is sometimes closed. I’m sorry you missed that detail in the article. The western access, from Wellsville is more dependable as I say in the article.

Anyway, thanks, I’ll update the article to bold the point about that eastern access road being closed at times. Heavy pans & “find your gold!”

The directions you gave are a dead end! Locked gate with a sign that says no motor vehicles beyond this point, what is really strange, is that right after you leave smooth road, they have a sign posted that says high clearance vehicles only, no rv’s, etc., they also have a no outlet sign before you turn onto 45 from cr 4… Just bought you might want to take down your directions.
