Alexandra Bridge Provincial Park

Alexandra Bridge Provincial Park spans 51 hectares along the Fraser River, featuring walking paths, forest areas, and a historic suspension bridge crossing.

The original Alexandra Bridge, constructed in 1863, served as a crucial link in the Cariboo Wagon Road connecting Fort Yale to the Barkerville gold fields.

The Nlaka'pamux and Sto:lo First Nations maintain traditional salmon fishing practices at this location, continuing a tradition spanning over 10000 years.

The park provides six picnic tables, three pit toilets, and requires visitors to cross an active railway track to reach the suspension bridge.

The eastern abutment of the 1926 bridge incorporates elements from the original 1863 structure, creating a physical connection between different engineering eras.
