Log Jam

On a warm, summer’s evening in Northfield, Bridge Square and the Riverwalk draw a lot of people. It is a nice place to stroll along the Cannon River, to look at the water falling over the dam, to see people fishing off the bridge, or just sitting and visiting or eating ice cream.

The log jam at the dam in Northfield.

The other night we took our ice cream treat down to Bridge Square and looked out on the river. To our surprise there was a log jam.

Another view of the messy log jam.

A couple big tree trunks were stuck in the dam and hundreds of branches and sticks have accumulated at the blockage. We’ve never seen it backed up so much.

There are always many folks fishing along Bridge Square.

It was a sight to see. Hopefully it will be cleaned up soon.
