Directions to your claim;
Take exit 751 from I-5 near Weed, CA. Just west of the highway is Stewart Springs Road. Take that headed west. After About 4.5 miles you will arrive at Stewart springs, but just before the resort, hang a right onto scenic byway 17. its a mountain road but paved. Follow it for 5.4 miles and arrive on the claim. This is the easiest to access claim ive ever had. Its all paved road. You will know you are there when the road crosses Park Creek over a bridge. There is a pull in on the right just before the road crosses the creek (culvert); and a dirt road continues up the north side of the creek to access some higher camping and creek access points.
Park Creek is just outside of Weed, CA and has super easy access. The road is paved the entire way to the claim, making this
accessible
for everyone. Any vehicle can get to the claim. There is an easy to access spot right by the paved road, and a couple other camping areas up short dirt roads as well. Super cool area to camp in. There is a trailhead that starts right here that will bring you to a cool mountain lake. Elevation at this claim is over 5000 feet, so there is snow here in the winter, and the summers are much cooler than the valley. Great gettaway spot.
The town of Weed with a supply store/gas station is less than 30 minutes away.
There is about 700 feet of creek on the claim. This is "Park N Pan," now make yourself an excuse to get out there and enjoy the outdoors.

An "Unpatented Mining Claim" means you own the "Mineral Rights" to the land and NOT the land itself. The land itself, is still owned by the Federal Government.
All paperwork is current and has been filed with the California BLM.
You are allowed to prospect the surface material of your claim including panning, sluicing, dry washing, metal detecting, and rock hounding for all precious metals and minerals (not just gold).
As with ALL UNPATENTED MINING CLAIMS on Forest Service land, you must file a "Plan of Operation" for any extensive mining operations beyond casual prospecting with the U.S. Forest Service.
All paperwork and fees are current through September 1st, 2021.
You may not sell "sand and gravel" from your claim, only precious metals and minerals. Check with the Bureau of Land Management if in doubt.
You may not build a personal residence of any kind.
You cannot (at this time)"patent" this, or any unpatented mining claim. Which means, you cannot purchase the land from the Government for residential use. Mining claim "patents" have not been granted since 1992, and will take an act of Congress to do so again.
You may camp on your claim for two weeks if not prospecting, and you may camp virtually as long as you want if you are actively prospecting. Always check with BLM about extended camping related to prospecting. You can also recreate, hunt, quad, swim, horseback ride and do any activity besides prospect.
Once a placer claim is staked and filed with the proper agencies, it must be maintained on an annual basis. Proof that it is properly maintained must be filed with the appropriate County, and State office of the BLM on or before 12 noon, September 1
st
of each year.
Mining Claims are considered "real property" and as such, can be sold, leased, and transferred to family members.
As long as you complete your paperwork and pay your yearly fees on time, your mining claim CANNOT be taken from you.
The owner of an unpatented mining claim may
either
, pay the annual 5.00 yearly maintenance fee
or
, perform a minimum of 0 worth of annual labor or improvements (EXAMPLE: Road improvement, clearing overgrown vegetation from access road, trash removal, etc....) on each claim by filing a Small Miners Waiver. You may file this waiver if you own 10 claims or less nationwide. (Check with the BLM for that fee amount.)
Currently the yearly maintenance fee for a 20 Acre mining claim to the BLM is 5.
