I'm trying to remember a theme park I went to as a kid. I think it was in Reno, NV. If not there it might have been in Utah. I remember it had a rudimentary log flume (it basically just went in a circle with a drop), it had a place where you could pan for gold, and I remember some kind of playground with a small town set in the background. Then it had a place where you could walk around on faux railroad tracks through faux mountains (I think there were shops or educational areas at the ends of these), and there was another part where you could tour a fake mine. Does anyone know what place I'm thinking of?

I'm pretty sure you're thinking of Lagoon in Farmington, Utah. That lame log flume right is still there [and it always has a long line]. The gold panning and town set was part of Pioneer Village, an attraction within Lagoon. Pioneer Village is still there, but it has changed a lot over the years. No more panning for gold, but they do have gun fights.

There is Lagoon amusement park in Utah. It does have a log flume that goes around in a circle like and at the end it has a drop. However there is no place where you can pan for fake gold not unless it has changed over the years and they have done away with some of that stuff.

You may be thinking of another place but it sure sounds like Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, CA (not too far from Disneyland). I haven't been there in many years but it sounds like how it was when I visited many many years ago. http://www.knotts.com/park/tour/gtown/index.shtml
