Twenty-eight kilometres (17 miles) north of Dawson Creek, there is an interesting side trip along the old Alaska Highway.
Kiskatinaw Provincial Park has a small campground near the Kiskatinaw River bridge. This historic timber bridge is the only curved, banked trestle bridge remaining in Western Canada, and is well worth the short side trip to see.
After stopping to take pictures on the south side of the bridge, continue north on the old highway route by driving your RV across the wood plank deck.
