Gold Panning Class

Admission: Included with site admission
Did you know there was a gold rush in the late 1800s in the North Georgia Mountains?
The Smith Creek Trail, which connects at the base of Anna Ruby Falls to Unicoi State
Park, follows the contours of the Sautee Ditch, a hand-dug waterway that spanned a
staggering seven miles from Smith Creek to two gold stamp mills during Georgia’s gold
rush in the late 1800s. Learn to pan for gold at Anna Ruby Falls on June 21.
