About this spot

Gold Dredge

The Sacramento-Lower Cow-Lower Clear watershed in California is home to the historic Gold Dredge, which was built in the early 1900s to extract gold from the riverbeds. The dredge is a massive machine that was used to sift through gravel and sand to extract the precious metal. It is now a popular tourist attraction and historical site, offering visitors a glimpse into the California Gold Rush and the engineering innovations of the time.

Visitors to the Gold Dredge can take a tour of the machinery and learn about the history of gold mining in the area. There is also a museum on site that showcases artifacts from the era. The dredge is located in a beautiful natural setting, with opportunities for hiking and wildlife watching in the surrounding area. With its unique historical significance and natural beauty, the Gold Dredge is a must-see destination for anyone interested in California's rich history and natural resources.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace

Know before you go
Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
Stay on trail
Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
Respect wildlife
Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
Pack it in, pack it out
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
Leave what you find
Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
