Rock Creek is rich in mining history and offers visitors a glimpse into the past. Rock Creek offers walking and biking trails, riverside camping and fishing.
The gold rushes began at Rock Creek in 1859 and throughout the area over the next 10 years. With the sudden influx of more than 5,000 miners, Governor James Douglas quickly ordered the rapid construction of the now-famous Dewdney Trail.
