Pokegama Log Chute

Description

High on the slopes to the right boaters can see traces of the historic Pokegama log chute, which descended over 800 feet in about a half mile. The chute was greased with animal fat and delivered logs to the river at a blistering 90 miles per hour. The logs were then floated down the Klamath roughly 25 miles to the mill at Klamathon. A half mile downstream another private road bridge crosses the river.
