Title: Kiskatinaw Provincial Park
Post by: Harvey on June 27, 2020, 03:03:07 pm
Kiskatinaw Park is 30 km north of Dawson Creek, BC.
We live in Alberta east of Dawson Creek.  We always enjoy Kiskatinaw on a few miles of the original Alaska Highway, paved but a bit rough to make it seem more genuine.  The park and campsite are on the Kiskatinaw River which is a good place to look for interesting rocks, float down the river or hike upstream along interesting rock formations.

The big attraction is the curved wooden bridge built in 1942 to get the highway across the river efficiently.  https://ouralaskahighway.com/?portfolio_item=historic-kiskatinaw-bridge

After listening to radio news reports that campsites in BC were off limits to Albertans because of the pandemic and all campers must have reservations we were very pleased to be welcomed without a reservation - a park caretaker just asked for $20 for the night and $5 for a generous supply of campfire wood.  No showers or flush toilets but most RVers are okay with that.
