Stampmill Sam's Gold Adventure

Become a prospector as we follow in the footsteps of "Stampmill Sam". We'll visit the Goodwin Gold Mine and discover how gold was mined in Virginia in the late 1700's. Then we'll pan for gold on the shores of the quartz laden creek nearby. Please wear sturdy shoes that can get wet and be prepared for a short hike to the mine site.

Pre-registration required.

Space is limited to the first 12 confirmed registrations.

$2 each or $6 per family.

Please leave a message on the Visitor Center answering machine (540) 854-6245 with your name; number of people in your group; name, date, and time of program; and your contact information. We will call back to confirm your reservation.

Please Note: Lake Anna State Park expects high volume of visitation on weekends and holidays. The park often closes once we reach capacity. Please plan to arrive early. Call 540-854-5503 to verify the status of the park's accessibility.
