Gold Panning

Eureka!

In the 1850's, prospectors flooded into the region during the Cariboo Goldrush with thirst for gold. Several operators throughout the region give visitors the opportunity to relive the gold rush with panning tours on the very same rivers that prospectors set their claims on over a century ago.

Fun for everyone

Gold panning is a great activity that the whole family can enjoy on the banks of sparkling rivers in the Cariboo while learning about the history of the gold rush. Keep an eye for some of that sparkle in your pan!
