This is the Mosquito Fork gold dredge, also known as the Cowden Dredge or the Lost Chicken Dredge, as seen from the trail's viewpoint. The dredge only operated for a couple of years before being abandoned in 1938. For more information about the dredge and the trail, including more photos, see our Cowden Gold Dredge page.
