Next time Ill follow the Shoreline Trail up to the sign for the Loop and give that a try. The fall colors were beautiful and the weather perfect. Some signs of homelessness, trash, and dog droppings. Overall, it was scenic and swell. Hot and I don't think what is mapped out in the Trails app is the actual Lynx creek trail. Nice shady trail on an early Sunday morning. My main purpose was to get sketches and photos for art inspiration while exploring an easy trail. This certainly fit the bill!

Most of the placer mining in the area of upper Lynx Creek was small-scale rocking and sluicing, but a few larger scale placer operations were attempted, especially in that part of upper Lynx Creek just downstream from the old Highway Bridge NW 14 sec.
During the period gravels were worked in the area called Bigelow Flat to about half a mile below the bridge, a distance of about 3 miles. The placer gold in Lynx Creek was derived from numerous widely scattered small gold-quartz veins in adjacent parts of the Bradshaw Mountains. Mineralization in the Bradshaw Mountains is both Precambrian and Laramide in age, and placers have been derived from veins of both ages.
In the Walker area, the gold-quartz veins are associated with a small stock of granodiorite that recent work has shown to be of Laramide age 64 m. Most of the gold in Lynx Creek is thought to have been derived from the gold veins in the Walker area. The gold found along the creek varies from coarse nuggets to 4 ounces in the upper reaches of the creek to fine gold along the lower reaches of Lynx Creek.
The gold-silver ratio in the nuggets increases downstream. Allen, Location; production; placer-mining operations during the periods and Gardner and Allsman, Lists—placer-mining techniques; depth and characteristics of gravel mined; depth of bedrock mined; percent of gold recovery.

Topographic Maps Prescott and Mount Union minute quadrangles. Access From Prescott, State Highway 69 east parallels the lower course of Lynx Creek, and light-duty roads lead south from State Highway 69 at Prescott to many points along the upper reaches of Lynx Creek. Extent Placers occur along the entire length of Lynx Creek from near the headwaters at Walker, 7 miles southeast of Prescott, downstream to the junction of Lynx Creek with the Aqua Fria River, 13 miles east of Prescott.
Production History Lynx Creek is the most productive gold-bearing stream in Arizona, although other districts La Paz, Yuma County; Weaver, Yavapai County have yielded more gold from alluvial fans, flats, and arroyos.
