    Gold Dredge No 8

    Off the old Steese Hwy at Mile 10 Goldstream Rd, this five-deck, 250ft dredge was built in 1928, operated until 1959, and was named a national historic site in 1984. Today perhaps Alaska's most visited dredge, No 8 is still making money. There are on-the-hour one-hour tours from 09:30 to 15:30 daily; for an additional fee you can also indulge in gold panning and the all-you-can-eat Miner's Lunch.
