Lippincott Mine Road

Lippincott Mine Road leads visitors to Lippincott Mine. The road is near Death Valley Junction in Death Valley National Park, California. The mine was established in 1906 and owned by Lead King Mine. The town that used to exist is no longer there. There are three remains of buildings and structures still on the site. It is also accessible by two ways, one through Death Valley Junction. The location of the mining road is 10 miles South of Teakettle Junction.

The largest of the operations at the mine occurred in 1940 to 1953. The land was leased by George Lippincott at the time. They were mining for lead rather than gold as many of the other mines were used for. An abandoned water truck, wood and concrete rubble, and washing machine can be found at Lippincott Mine at the end of Lippincott Mine Road. Homestake Mine is a mile from Lippincott Mine on the same road. It makes it close to the Homestake Camping Area. The road is remote and requires a four wheel vehicle. The drive time can vary depending on the weather for the day, but generally 3 hours is needed.
