The Gold Bug Mine is the major historical and geological attraction in the park. An excellent example of hard rock gold mining, the Gold Bug Mine has a solid wooden floor, lighting throughout, and an air shaft providing clean cool air at all times. The mine floor is often damp depending on the season.

Gold Bug Mine, originally called the Hattie Mine, is dated as being started in 1888. This mine is available for self guided audio tours as well as guided group tours.

With our self-guided audio tour, you will listen to recorded narration describing the mine as you walk through the 352-foot drift at your own pace. Admission to Gold Bug Mine includes the self-guided audio tour, a hardhat, and admission to the Hendy Stamp Mill.
