About this spot

Three generations of the Millar family run this working placer mine at the confluence of Hunker and Goldbottom creeks, about 25 km from Dawson City. Tours walk you through a modern placer operation and finish with panning real Hunker Creek pay dirt — you keep what you find.

Before you go

Paid tour, roughly May–September, departing from Front Street in Dawson City. Working mine site — access by tour only. Verify current status and schedule before visiting.
