Pine Creek — Tioga County

Gold Mining Site PA • Tioga County County
Description
Reported By: Kevin Schappell While Camping in potter County, I stopped in at Blackwell State Park access area off of Route 414 and got my pant out. I did find a few small flakes. After returning to work the next day I talked with the secretary and she is from that area. She reported that there was a lot of activity a little further up river near a waterfall. I think there is a club that gets together near by.
