A Log Chute is a man-made trough used to carry logs over rough river landscape to a downstream sawmill. At one time Ontario(Canada) had thousands made of maple/beech/hemlock. Now there's only one remaining. Log Chutes were always attached to dams built by the logging companies. These dams, of timber crib construction, held back the water until the spring log dirves when thousands of logs would be flushed downstream in a mighty torrent. A reconstruction project spanning 1999-2005 saw the chute returned to it's former glory. Constructed of 50,000 board feet of locally felled and milled Hemlock. Additonal information can be found at www.standhopemuseum.on.ca

I like the photograph....must be in my blood. Over a century ago my family were fur trappers and loggers. Great catch!

Kurt and Greg .. thank you for your kind comments on this simple image. The photo was much less work than the long walk through knee keep snow to acquire it!
Cheers.

would've been cool to have caught a log actually going down that thing in the shot, but nevertheless this is a good shot!

I am able to BE, to BEAR, to DO, or DARE, all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Log in motion! ..indeed. Unfortunately those days have long passed.
