Very good view , camping good and can swim if want, fun to cool down on hot day. good for all to go.
We just moved to Fort St. John last year and try to take short trips on weekends this summer. We drove to Kiskatinaw Bridge one Saturday afternoon. I think there should be more signs for directions of how to go to the bridge.The bridge is awesome, really beautiful--very old but very beautiful! The mountains and trees as background to the bridge was really beautiful! We saw a squirrel on the side of the road. The kids enjoyed the place. It is very nice to visit historical places, specially if they are very much preserved. We didn't explore the rest of the park but we saw some ladies swimming in the river below the bridge. On our drive back to Fort St. John we saw a herd of sheep feeding on the grasses beside the highway. Beautiful place!
The Kiskatinaw bridge is the only curved wooden bridge in North America. It is on the old Alaska highway. It is a sight that should be seen if you travel the Alaska highway.
This is a unique old bridge that is wooden and actually curves, one of a kind!The view of the valley through here is fantastic to see , exceptional in the fall.
At mile 16 on the Alaska Highway, there is a short detour to the original curved bridge built in the 1940's, on the other side there is a nice photo spot and it is worth walking back for a,view from the bridge.
I took my roommate down to see the curved bridge. The engineering feat itself was amazing and then you start to see the beautiful surrounding. We marveled at the layers of sediment and also the layers in the outcrops. It is a great place to take pictures along with looking for fossils.
What makes this old wooden bridge unique is that it is curved. Built in 1942 it is considered an engineering marvel and was once part of the historic Alaska Highway. I drove over this bridge at least a 100 times when it was still part of the original highway going north from Dawson Creek. Well worth the detour
Always a beautiful landscape, changes yearly. We are fortunate to have a wonderful Provincial Park at the base of the bridge.
Beautiful any time of year...but much safer in the summer....it is made of wood...and is curved...can get quite slippery in the winter. This was originally part of the Alaska hwy...but,now with the new bridge and portion of hwy,,,the old bridge is less traveled....this makes it much easier to enjoy!
Very unique bridge that is not on the main highway any more. The scenery in this area is spectacular!
