Chinook salmon spawn at the mouth of Woodchopper Creek upstream of its confluence with the Yukon River. The Yukon River supports three species of salmon at this location – coho, Chinook, and chum. These species use the property as either full-time or temporary habitat, making the property highly valuable for conservation purposes. It is comprised of highland, lowland, wetland, and riparian features that support more than forty wildlife species, including black bear, grizzly bear, caribou, Dall sheep, moose, wolf, and wolverine. Woodchopper Creek Gold Claim is part of the mixed forest/scrub-shrub permafrost ecosystem of interior Alaska. The area is characterized by rugged, mountainous terrain in the heart of the Tintina Gold Belt. One of the most notable aspects of the Woodchopper Creek Gold Claims is the region’s unique geology. The property’s 15 patented claims were periodically mined up through the 1980s, whereas the 37 unpatented claims remain undeveloped. Located in the Yukon-Koyukuk Borough between the towns of Circle and Eagle, Alaska, the property is an inholding situated within the Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve managed by the US National Park Service (NPS). This offering, “Woodchopper Creek Gold Claim,” consists of a set of 52 claims representing a total of about 1,418± acres, with 15 of these claims (about 230± acres) patented and the remaining 37 claims (about 1,188± acres) unpatented. Woodchopper Creek was, and still is today, an attractive location for miners due to a significant amount of high-grade gold and other valuable minerals. One of the most prominent areas of the Klondike Gold Rush was the Woodchopper Creek region, located about 200 river miles downstream of Dawson City, the epicenter of the gold rush. The Klondike Gold Rush first began in 1896 when gold was discovered in the Yukon Territory.
#TOK ALASKA REAL ESTATE FULL#
One of the most significant events in Alaska’s history was in full swing, The Klondike-Alaska Gold Rush. Helga has lived here for over 30 years and provided lots of history about Alaska and local information about Tok.The year was 1898. Her lab, husky and collie mix dog added to the ambience and the pleasant stay. The property is large and inviting to sit on the several flower potted decks. Breakfast was a delicious "Dutch baby" baked fruit pancake, with bacon savory, and coffee. We were the only ones who did not pre-book. In all, there were three parties who stayed that night - a couple from Germany, two ladies, and my three. My two adult sons and I chose the cabin - a bit like an Alaskan Hobbit house. The property and buildings look tongue and cheek hippie. A rustic doll-house cabin and several rooms in her uniquely self designed and constructed home attracted us to stay. Tastefully decorated with her stainglass and other local artisan craft pottery (for sale), Helga, an artist/college instructer is the proprietress who makes the B&B so inviting and comfortable. Intriqued by the modest road sign, we turned off the road (Alaska Hwy) and drove in some 1/2 mile to discover this chaming and uniquely comfortable B&B.
