The Historic Pump House Restaurant at the foot of Chena Ridge originally housed the pump station that piped water from the Chena River to the water giants at the gold dredge in Ester. This home is situated on the historic Ester Gold Dredge ditch. An original wooden-pipe diversion gate from the gold rush era is nestled among white spruce on the front of the property. From its tranquil forest setting, let SNOWSHOE INN become your gateway to your far north adventures!
