Kiskatinaw Provincial Park, Provincial park near Kiskatinaw River, British Columbia, Canada

The 58-hectare park preserves a section of the Kiskatinaw River gorge, containing white spruce, trembling aspen, and balsam poplar forests.

The park was established in 1962 to protect a horseshoe-shaped meander of the Kiskatinaw River and the curved wooden bridge built during World War II.

The name Kiskatinaw originates from the Cree language, referring to the steep banks that characterize the river's natural formation.

Visitors access camping areas and swimming spots through the Alaska Highway, with facilities located near the historic curved wooden bridge.

The Kiskatinaw Bridge stands as the sole remaining curved, banked wooden trestle bridge in Western Canada, stretching 57.9 meters with a nine-degree curve.

Location: Peace River Regional District

Inception: May 1, 1962
