Depends on where you are, but I'd check your local USGS office for more information. Terms range from seasonal dredging only to year round panning and picking.
It is either going to be on forest service, BLM, private, or national park/monument land.
The laws and rules are totally different for each. The USGS cannot help you except by supplying maps.
- BLM land is usually the most permissive
- private land you will have to talk to the landowner in person to get permission
- forest service land may require submission of a formal plan of operation at some sites even if all you want to do is pan, but the rules vary widely and to be safe you should check at the forest service office responsible for the site
- national park/monuments land usually prohibit all forms of prospecting or mining
