'''Log driving''' is a means of moving [[lumber|logs]] (sawn [[tree trunk]]s) from a forest to [[sawmill]]s and [[pulp mill]]s downstream using the current of a river. It was the main transportation method of the early [[logging|logging industry]] in [[Europe]] and [[North America]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=hUo3AQAAMAAJ&pg=PA62 |title=Manistee National Forest (N.F.), Pere Marquette Wild and Scenic River (WSR), Proposed, Environmental Impact Statement |date=December 31, 1976 |access-date=September 29, 2019 |publisher=[[Manistee National Forest]] |page=62}}</ref>
