About
A tour through the Rapid River Logging Camp is like exchanging an hour of your life today for an hour half a century or more age. You will thrill by the panorama of a booming early logging camp. You will marvel at the equipment used to bring out the giant logs. And you will be delighted with the delicious food served family style as you sit down to a lumberjack meal in the cook shanty.
You will see the Blacksmith Shop, complete with forge and giant old bellows. And there is a huge logging sled-- "the jammer" used in loading the logs, and the great road sprinkler used to ice the logging roads in the winter for easier hauling. There on the banks near the mill pond is an old steam traction engine furnishing power to an operating sawmill.
May we suggest a short hike on marked trails to see the "Upper Lock," the "Lower Lock," the " Log Chute" and the "High View" overlooking the river? These are original landmarks of the early logging days.
