Remnants of a Day Gone By

Forestville derived it's name from a rich logging past. Near the ferry station is an old log flume.  Logs were sent down an open v-shaped flume accompanied by water to the river's edge. There they were loaded onto boats to be transported down river.  While the flume is no longer in operation, parts of ot remain as a reminder of Forestville's past.
Of couse for amusement park enthusiasts, the flume ride, recalling that old logging procedure, is a current day hot weather adventure.
