The large piles of rock and gravel around you were left over from dredge mining operations that took place in the 1940s and early 1950s.
The 4-level Yankee Fork dredge floated in water as it dug its way upstream, extracting gold and silver from the river bed. It left behind an arc of fan-shaped tailing piles as it pivoted back and forth, anchored by a 55-foot post called a spud. Large cobbles were sent to a mounted conveyor belt, or stacker, while finer sediments were deposited outside the dredge.
These dredge piles are evidence of Idaho's mining heritage and are being preserved as an important part of the Yankee Fork's history.
