    okay, i have started a topic on places to mine with not much luck, so i want to ask what is alaska laws for prospecting. i heard that you can go up to 1/4 mile off any road..... Is this true? I Want to know the laws so i don't ruin anything for other prospectors and i want to respect the states laws.  Thanks guys ( i contacted the local chapter and the president is currently out of town so i was un able to get an answer from them.)

    Did you make it to Alaska yet or is this for 2015?  Checking with Alaska DNR will get you land status and they should be able to help with ?'s about law as well.  Most gold producing areas in Alaska have few roads and are staked up over the roads in most places.  You should check with a lawyer as to the legality of prospecting within the road right of way.  I have never heard of the 1/4 mile off the road before and don't believe it.    Have a great day.

    As with any prospecting adventure, do the research. Check land status and land management and mineral management. MAKE SURE YOU ARE NOT ON CLAIMED LAND. Be sure to check not only federal but state and local regulations. Get any permits required. Prospect responsibly.

    DOT does not allow any panning or mining within 250 feet of centerline, unless set aside by the state.

    Rule 1 Page 1...If you do not know the land status and do not take the time to determine the land status, Then treat it as private prop[erty and stay out.

    Go to www.dnr.alaska.gov/MapAK.   Use the "Alaska Mapper" function -- it'll tell you exactly where all the state and Federal claims are.  I wouldn't recommend mining on any staked and current claim in Alaska (or anywhere else for that matter...)  Hope this info helps.
