Kaweah Oak Preserve - California, USA - Historic Hand Operated Sluice Gates on Waymarking.com

I found this ancient hand operated sluice while geocaching in the Kaweah Oak Preserve.

Is was completely dry and it seems that it didn't work for a long time.

"Kaweah Oaks Preserve, a 322-acre nature preserve, protects one of the last remaining valley oak riparian forests in the San Joaquin Valley. When you walk along the trails at Kaweah Oaks Preserve, you can easily imagine how this area looked before it was settled 100 years ago. More than 300 plant and animal species live, feed or reproduce at the nature preserve, including gray fox, great horned owl, Nuttall's woodpecker, wild grapevines, willow thickets and majestic valley oaks."
