It happened by Rabbit Creek around Dawson City of the Yukon Territory in Canada though it eventually spread as far as Alaska. The rush began in earnest by 1897 after gold had been discovered there in 1897.

The Klondike Gold Rush began with the discovery of gold on August 16, 1896. It took some time for word to get out, however, and people who heard about it were likely to look for gold rather than telling anyone else, so word did not spread as rapidly as one might imagine. It took nearly a year, until July of 1897, for word to become widespread in the United States. The Gold Rush began during that time, but there is no precise date for its beginning.

Any search engine would provide the answer to this question simply by inputting the words Klondike and gold.

The Klondike Gold Rush took place in (should anyone be surprised?) The Klondike, which is in Yukon, Canada.

If the USA had it's choice it would be the state of Alaska. Instead it was the Territory of Canada called The Yukon. The USA had the last laugh as they took control of the Yukon's access to the Pacific ensuring that any such Gold Rush would benefit the USA more than Canada.
