Emerald Creek Garnet Parking Area Saint Maries, ID 83861

"Not open today . I was looki g for spmething to do thats unique (Tuesday) A local person in Coeur d'Alene said its a fun time so I headed up that way. Wasn't aware of need for reservations until I saw signs along the road. No cell coverage in the area to call or look up a website Disappointed. Google says it's open. Once I returned to CDA, I called the number listed. They are going to get their open hours updated in Google."

"This was fantastic! We collected many fine garnets! It's pretty physical, but not difficult."

"So: bring plenty of water/Gatorade, sunscreen and a good set of boots, and you're all set! Just be sure you have reservations, or you'll be turned away. I had a blast, and as far as the garnets, they were plentiful and of high quality!"

"This Place is great fun, look for garnets of all sizes . Good for the whole family. Bring water and sunscreen as it can be hot! It treasure hunting in at national forest park , all equipment is supplied on site , $10.00 per person and at this time reservations are required. Go have Fun and you too can find treasure."

"Beautiful area. My Son and I went and found garnets. The forest service was very helpful. They made sure we knew what we were looking for and had a great time."
