There are several ways people ford the Lochsa River.The Forest Service maintains four or five foot bridges along Highway 12, each of which goes across to a system of trails.There are also private crossings, like this, with a little cart on a wire, powered by gravity and controlled by a handbrake. I bet that's a little crazy in the winter when there are icicles present. Maybe they just walk across the ice in that case, I don't know.And then there's this luxury model — a whole cabin with curtains and all.If you lived by the river, knowing how to cross it would be a major part of your life.
