Great Raft The Great Raft was a gigantic log jam or series of "rafts" that clogged the Red and Atchafalaya Rivers and was unique in North America in terms of its scale. ==Origin== The Great Raft probably began forming around 1100–1200 AD.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Great Raft )〕 It grew faster at its upper end than it decayed or washed out at the lower end, leading to its peak length spanning more than 160 miles/250 km in the early 1830s. The raft, at one point, extended for 165 miles from Loggy Bayou to Carolina Bluffs. The Great Raft formed part of the mythology of the local Caddo tribe and protected them from competing tribes, as well as intermittently flooding land and making it fertile for agriculture.
