I'm interested in going to Fairbanks this summer. Is there any public gold mining areas around Fairbanks? Thanks, JOHN

"Just a few minutes north of Fairbanks is this 150' pull over along the side of Old Steese Hwy. Partially hidden in the pull over is a Marker commemorating the spot where Felix Pedro made his historic gold strike that began the Alaskan Gold Rush."

When in Fairbanks I assume you will be renting a vehicle. Here is another link for some Public areas outside of Fairbanks but they are further away up the Steese Highway. You perhaps seen my posting for Chicken Alaska if your willing to drive further. Happy Trails....
