Park Info
Alexandra Bridge Provincial Park is a small park centred around the site of the original Cariboo Wagon Road bridge over the Fraser River. The park was established in 1984. It provides both a rest stop and picnic facilities for travelers. This site has been a natural stop-over and crossing of the Fraser River since the area was first populated. Because of its small size there are limited recreational opportunities within this park. You can access the old bridge site from a trail through the day use area.
Park Size: 55 hectares
Special Notes:
The park originally provided facilities on both sides of the highway. Recently the park access and facilities on the east side of the highway have been closed. Visitors can still access the west side of the park and the old bridge site.
General Visitor Information
Visitors should exercise caution when visiting the old bridge
site as there are steep rock drop offs on the banks of the river.
