Welcome to the Wausau Prospectors Outing and Picnic to the Snyder County Park & Campground August 20th, 21st & 22nd.This Outing will take place at the Snyder County Park Campground, located about 7 miles west of Neillsville Wisconsin off of HWY 10. Watch for the park sign. This is a large park with a lake and the park has a lot to offer. There are restrooms, shelters, ATV Trails, camping, etc. All personnel are responsible for getting and paying for their own camp site. Come up on Friday or earlier and do some prospecting on Wedges Creek. The Picnic for this Outing will take place on Saturday August 21st.
Good places to pan and sluice are to the north where Wedges Creek flows into the lake. The Gold is mostly fine as it is Glacial Gold. The further north you go up the creek from the lake, the shallower it gets. There is an ATV Trail that follows the Creek north for about 3 ½ miles. A good place to access the river and still be on county land is where Chili Road crosses the creek about 3 ½ miles to the north of the lake. If you access the creek at Chili Road you must stay on the south side of the road to be on county land. You can also pan and sluice on the south side of the dam where Wedges Creek flows out of the lake. Always think safety when entering the water from the bank. Do not dig into the banks and fill in your holes. Stay within the park boundary or if on private land ask for landowner’s permission first.
