• Yes. There is no permit required to pan. You can pan on any BLM land, except land which is claimed by someone. • The most popular area for gold panning is Dogtown. Dogtown is located 6 miles North of Conway Summit (or 14 miles north of Lee Vining) on the west side of U.S. 395. Historic landmark signs indicate the site and tell a little of its history. A road at the sign leads down to the ponds.
