Drive TX 34/ 50 from Ladonia to North Sulphur Springs. Large gravel parking lot on NW side. Path leads to the stairway to river. Be VERY CAREFUL as it is steep!

FM2990 Bridge over North Sulphur River. No parking lot or paved shoulder on this road. You can park on gravel shoulder on SE side of bridge then walk across to NW side. VERY steep slope!

Ron Coleman mines are on Rt 7 in Jessieville, AR (outside Hot Springs). On Rt. 7 there is a Ron Coleman rock shop. You can pay in there and recieve the map to get to the area. It is approx. 10 miles from the rock shop. This area is $10 for adults and Free for kids 16 and younger for the day. You keep everything you can find.

There is a mine behind this rock shop. It is owned by the other brother. The last time Mrs. Campbell's family was there it was $20 for an adult.

Check out the link below. It provides great information on a current excavation. Follow them on facebook to get updates on the digs. I believe you have to be 11 and older to go on the digs. But what a great free experience for kids!
