We offer gem mining at it's best! You can mine the buckets here at the flume line or you can take the 4-hour trip out to the mine to dig your own. The mine trips do require a reservation. You can do the mining at the flume rain or shine. We also have a General Store/Gift Shop, Jewelry Shop, a free fluorescent mine display, a picnic area to go along with the gem mining. We are located one mile off the Blue Ridge Parkway so there are lots of places to do hiking if you like. Come and enjoy a fun-filled day with us!

My family had a wonderful time, my boys 8 and 10 years old had a blast!! I would highly recommend this place, especially for rainy days since the mining area is covered.
