While searching on Google, I came across an article by Linda Gast about a flume built in 1897, used to transport logs from the Sugar Pine lumber mill to Oakhurst. It was an efficient way to move the lumber for processing. Today the flume no longer exists with the exception of a modern steel section near Bass Lake at the flume hike trailhead.

A link in the article is below from the Sierra Star newspaper that talks about the Sugar Pine Mill with pictures.
Below are a few pictures from the article of the Sugar Pine Lumber Camp from the collection of Dr. & Mrs. Lillian Wells.
