Trail Notes: This short and scenic trail leads to the historic Reiling Dredge – one of the few remaining wooden mining dredges in the U.S. – and offers a way to connect with Breckenridge’s rich mining past as well as the great outdoors. Starting from ADA-designated parking on the west side of French Gulch Road, the trail spans about 800 feet to the dredge site. Along the way, interpretive signs tell the story of the area’s gold mining era and the dramatic impact dredging had on the landscape.
