Claim Map and Location Notice
The Klamath National Gold claim (on the Klamath River) is located about 31 miles downriver from Happy Camp. The upriver boundary is located approximately at Highway 96 mile marker 9.79. The downriver boundary is located approximately at Highway 96 mile marker 9.11 at Sandy Creek (see map).
There are two chained access roads. The first road is located near mile marker 8.99 and the other at mile marker 9.31. They are secured with United States Forest Service combination locks. The combination should be available from the USFS. A USFS foot access trail also leads to the river on this claim.
PROSPECTS: The prospects look fantastic on this claim. This section of the Klamath River has a very rich mining history. Evidence of extensive hydraulic mining operations can be seen along the river nearly everywhere in the area. There are old cobble and tailing piles from previous activity located on the claim. This is testimony to the rich gravels that were worked along this section of the Klamath River. These old hydraulic mining areas present fantastic potential for metal detecting. A lot of areas exist for excellent sluicing and highbanking prospects, as well. There are large boulders and bedrock providing good shallow dredging opportunities. This claim is right below the old hydraulic areas which very likely wash new gold into the river during every major storm.
