The Yankee Fork, A Tale of Tailings

The Yankee Fork Gold Dredge provided economic opportunity for westerners in the 1940s and 1950s, but it had a dramatic effect on the Yankee Fork, a small but important tributary of the Salmon River located in south-central Idaho. The work to enhance this critical fish habitat, which will help promote the recovery of ESA-listed Chinook salmon and steelhead, has resulted in the removal of some dredge tailing piles to reestablish more natural river channels and floodplains. But the Yankee Fork Gold Dredge and remaining diverse and wide-spread cobbles remind visitors of the dredge’s glory days. Visitors and future generations can view our unique shared history and landscape with greater understanding of the past in the Yankee Fork valley.
