Gold Panning Class

Come to Anna Ruby Falls on Saturday, June 21, 2025 from 11 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. pm to learn how to pan for gold.

Did you know there was a gold rush in the late 1800s in the North Georgia Mountains? Attend this event to learn more.

Also of note, if you follow the Smith Creek Trail, which connects at the base of Anna Ruby Falls to Unicoi State Park, the trail 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.
