A notable exception is the "Log Chute" at Nickelodeon Universe. Log flumes which are placed indoors instead of out in the open, or at least covered by some sort of shelter, are sometimes referred to as river caves Dubious|date=March 2008 (such as the "Niagara Falls" flume ride in Sunway Lagoon Theme Park, Malaysia) to set them apart from typical log flumes.

It is also a ride in the Roller Coaster Tycoon PC game series. The oldest existing of this type of ride is the Boat Chute, constructed in 19 located at Lake Winnepesaukah Amusement Park in Chattanooga Tennessee. The chutes ride consists of a boat that slides down a long chute and splashes into a lake. Log flumes are a variant of the chutes rides that were popular in the United States in the early 20th Century, and that continue to be built today, usually called Shoot-the-Chutes. Log flumes are now a staple of many amusement parks. Another notable log flume is Splash Mountain at the Disney theme parks, based on characters in " Song of the South". The designer, Bud Hurlbut, drew his inspiration from stories of lumberjacks riding logs down rivers. The ride proved to be so popular, a second separate flume was opened in 1968. The first log flume amusement ride is said to be the "El Aserradero" ("The Sawmill" in Spanish), built by amusement company Arrow Development (also known as Arrow Dynamics, Arrow/Huss, Arrow, and now part of S&S/Arrow) in 1963 at Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington, Texas. Taking cameras or other items that can be damaged by moisture onto a flume ride is not recommended. Most log flumes require riders to be 36 inches or taller, not a very tall restriction due to the family-oriented nature of the attractions. Part of the excitement is the randomness of the water splashing onto riders. It provides people with a fun way to get wet and cool off on a hot summer day, with certain seating sections usually being splashed with more water for a more exciting and wet ride.

The ride usually culminates with a rapid descent and splashdown into a body of water, and often more than one (normally the largest drop being just before the end). Passengers sit in the logs, which are propelled along the flume by the flow of water. Today, however, the term is also used to refer to an amusement ride consisting of a water flume and artificial hollow logs (or boats), such as Policy Pond at Canobie Lake Park.
