FAMILY and KID friendly! GUARANTEED "LUCKY STRIKE" in each pan. By special arrangement we will "SALT THE POKE" with larger nuggets to make it a "BONANZA FIND" for that special person in your life young or old.

PANNING AREA is large, well lit and sheltered, with HEATED WATER for panning, clean, and portable steps for young ones. Very large parties can all pan at once.

Weigh your poke in "Gertie's Gold Shack" GIFT SHOP at the "Assayer's Office".

Assayer will put your poke in a beautiful BEZEL or VIAL NECKLACE, pay extra for a larger POKE in the bezel and even "trade up" to another piece of GOLD NUGGET JEWELRY.

GOLD DREDGE is a GIANT MACHINE, two stories high and a block long, originally floated on a barge in a pond of its own creation. Fascinating and Unique GUIDED TOUR passes THROUGHOUT THE INSIDE of the Dredge.

DAWSON DOLLY shows off her $25,000 pet GOLD NUGGET during the GOLD DREDGE TOUR.

Tour the heart of HISTORIC DOWNTOWN Skagway going to the DREDGE. Enjoy additional self-guided time in the Downtown visiting the many shops and the National Park Museum.
