On June 13, 1886, a log jam developed in the St. Croix River, close to Taylors Falls, Minnesota, and St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin. The river was used to transport large quantities of logs from the forests upstream to the sawmills, and log jams disrupted this business. The 1886 jam was described at the time by a local journalist as "the jammedest jam" he had encountered, and was very difficult to clear, with hundreds of men working for six weeks to clear it, eventually using steamboats and dynamite. The jam was also a major tourist attraction, with thousands of spectators every day. After the jam was broken up in July, cleanup work to remove the logs on the river banks continued until September.

  • Der Trift-Stau im Saint Croix River bildete sich 1886 im St. Croix River in der Nähe von Taylors Falls und St. Croix Falls. Ein lokaler Journalist beschrieb die Ansammlung im Wasser treibender Baumstämme damals als „den größten Trift-Stau“, den er je erlebt habe. Hunderte Männer arbeiteten sechs Wochen lang daran, den Stau unter Zuhilfenahme von Dampfschiffen und Dynamit zu beseitigen. Der Stau war eine große Touristenattraktion und zog täglich tausende Besucher an. (de)
  • 自1886年6月13日始，的至段發生了嚴重的原木堵塞。當時，聖克魯瓦河被用於運輸從上游森林砍伐而得的大量原木，而這場估計堵塞了1.25至1.5億板英尺的松木。當地記者稱這場堵塞是「最嚴重的堵塞」，因為其非常難以疏通。幾百人在使用蒸氣船和炸藥的情況下，足足清理了六個星期，直到在9月份才大致疏通。當地的主要業務—林業因原木堵塞事件而受到很深的影響，但此事件意外成為了熱門的觀光景點，每日都有上千觀光客前往觀光。 (zh)
