Kiskatinaw Provincial Park, Provincial park near Kiskatinaw River, British Columbia, Canada
Description
Kiskatinaw Provincial Park is a nature reserve covering about 58 hectares along a river section in British Columbia. The valley is lined with forests of spruce, aspen, and poplar trees that grow along the gorge walls.
History
The area was protected in 1962 to preserve a distinctive river meander and a wooden bridge built during World War II. The bridge remains from that era and still defines the park's character today.
Culture
The name Kiskatinaw comes from the Cree language and refers to the steep riverbanks that define the landscape here. You notice these dramatic banks immediately as you explore the gorge.
Practical
The park is accessible via the Alaska Highway and offers camping areas and swimming spots along the river. Most facilities are located near the historic bridge and are easy to reach on foot.
Did you know?
The wooden bridge is the only remaining curved, banked wooden trestle bridge of its kind in Western Canada and shows a remarkable construction technique. Its unusual shape allowed it to safely cross a sharp river curve.
