Located 28 miles north of Fairbanks (other side of Cleary Summit), it once was a busy gold mining town and the center of one of the richest placer gold districts in Alaska. The area is also popular with local winter-sports enthusiasts, aurora watchers, and summer hikers. Over 70 million dollars in gold was taken out between 1926 and 1957. Today Chatanika is a "gold camp resort" on the Steese Highway - a lodge with a gold dredge across the way. The gold camp, with a hotel and a restaurant, is the old Fairbanks Exploration Company site. In and around are Alaska memorabilia and mining artifacts. From the lodge comes the traditional "Chatanika Days Outhouse Race". Each March five-person teams race a one-mile course, with four pushing and one riding in the specially built "racing outhouses". The original bunkhouse and dining hall of the Fairbanks Exploration Company are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Chatanika Lodge has rooms for rent, a saloon, a package store and family-style dining. Dredge #3, owned by the Chatanika Dredge Company, is a rare and very large piece of antique industrial mechanical mining equipment. Since 1963 it has been in its own frozen pond, not far from the Chatanika Lodge. At one time, is worked the Cleary Creek and Chatanika River.
