Swollen by melting snow and ice, forest rivers in Maine were used to float log booms to sawmills or railroads downstream. It’s hard to imagine now, though the tradition involved extensive preparations and skills. This example is the Mattawamkeag River in Aroostook County.

I was introduced to Maine’s rivers through the book The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon. It made me want to see that scenery 🙂
Few tourists are around to see it at this time of year.
Beautiful photo.
