Welcome to
     

    A community with a handful of hearty souls savoring the raw Alaska... gold mining... ghosts of last century's gold rush... an outpost in the wilderness... the Fortymile caribou herd... a float trip on a Wild & Scenic River... Arctic grayling fishing... fields of brilliant fireweed... wolves... the Northern Lights or Midnight Sun... take your pick, it's all here. And more!

    The Chicken Gold Camp & Outpost is just south of the Taylor Highway on Airport Road in the center of Chicken, Alaska. It's built on the site of a camp established in the 1930s by the industrious Fairbanks Exploration Company for mining Chicken Creek with the Pedro Dredge, now a National Historic Site.

    At the "Gold Camp," you'll explore the history of this early mining community, tour the gold dredge, view an actual working gold mine, experience the thrill of panning your own gold or mining on our claims, and enjoy a cappuccino in the Outpost while you browse the many unique gifts. Enjoy dinner and entertainment on the deck, stay the night in the campground or rent a cabin and the next day enjoy a kayak trip on the river or some fishing after breakfast in the café.

    We invite you to explore our Web site to see the facilities, the beauty of the area and the many ways to enjoy it. A slide show can be viewed and dozens of large photographs have been posted to allow you to see the details. To download our brochure in a printer-friendly format, please click here. If you have any questions, you'll find that we're easy to get in touch with, and easy to talk to - we'd love to show you Alaska!
