Crisson Gold Mine is an actual open pit gold mine that was established in 1847 and was worked commercially until the early 1980s. We've been open to the public since 1969 and we are the oldest gold mining establishment in North Georgia. At Crisson Gold Mine, there is a 125-year-old stamp mill that is still used to crush quartz rock which contains gold. This crushed rock is called ore. In addition to the stamp mill, we have rod mills and jaw crushers that we occasionally use. All of these antique gold mining machines along with our open pit mine can be seen when you visit our gold mine. We sell our ore by the 5-gallon bucket. You can pan for the gold at our gold mine, or you can take the ore home with you. For our more serious gold miners, we have trommels for your use during your visit to Crisson Gold Mine. These machines are used to separate the gold from the sand at a much more efficient pace. Several buckets of ore can be finished in less than half the time it takes to pan them out.

"My wife and I reserved for lunch at Wolf Mountain and we are so glad we did. Our B&B hosts apparently told the folks here about that day being our 43rd wedding anniversary and we were treated very, very nicely by Lindsey and her staff, including a mouth-watering, complimentary dessert. The food was ..."delicious and the view from the outdoor seating area was breathtaking. Highly recommended!

"This was our second visit to Wolf Mountain and it was just as awesome as the first. This time we met up with friends for a birthday lunch. We were a little disappointed that we couldn't sit out on the balcony and enjoy the spectacular view, but they didn't have space out there for a party of 9.

The food was great as usual, even the first-timers agreed. And the menu has suggested wines for each item. I did not part-take in the wine tasting as I was the designated driver, but those who did, enjoyed it. The atmosphere was inviting and fun. It gets a little crowded on a Saturday so you want to go when they open - at noon. This way you get to eat and then go downstairs and get a good seat on the terrace to enjoy the wine and the view.
We found the visitors there to be very warm and conversational for the most part, maybe its the wine. We met a few folks from out of town both times, and they are always willing to strike up a conversation. If you are considering visiting, do ...

"It doesn't really take a long time to walk through the area and see the various animals. There are educational signs to provide information about the animals. We saw baby lion cubs and they were AMAZING! We also saw grizzly bears, several types of monkeys, miniature horses, and a variety of large c..."ats such as leopards, lions, white tigers, Bengal tigers, etc. It was very clean and the animals were well cared for. This isn't a zoo. Many of the animals have an interesting story as to how they arrived here, and the employees were eager to share this information when asked. The employees seemed to be well trained and very passionate about their job. I would highly recommend this for families, and it's easy to get to -- not far from Dahlonega.
