The Klondike River, famous for its gold mining, is located in the Yukon region of Canada and allows visitors to freely search for gold within certain limits.

The Klondike River is part of the Yukon River that originates in the Arctic, so it's cool year-round. According to CNN/Travel Yukon.

In the past, when people discovered that the riverbed contained a lot of gold, they came here to build a small town to facilitate mining. According to CNN/Travel Yukon.

However, the Klondike Gold Rush peaked in 1899, and gold mining became increasingly difficult due to permafrost and uneven distribution of gold. According to CNN/Travel Yukon.

Gold mining continued until 1903 when production peaked and the amount of gold dwindled, forcing many to leave. According to CNN/Travel Yukon.

The gold at the bottom of the Klondike River has not been exhausted yet and has become a tourist destination. According to CNN/Travel Yukon.

Visitors are free to pan for gold under the Klondike River, but only within certain limits. According to CNN/Travel Yukon.
