About Iron Horse Trail Beaver River Trestle Bridge
STAGING AREAS
Staging areas include maps, washrooms, picnic tables, off loading ramps and lots of parking. They are often close to businesses where you can stock up on supplies.
SOUTHWEST BRANCH
Although the trail begins 20 kilometers to the west, the gateway to Alberta’s Iron Horse Trail awaits you in the charming town of Smoky Lake. The staging area is located at the “tee” intersection of Main Street and Railway Avenue.
Ashmont also hosts a major equestrian staging area allowing wagon trains and trail rides an excellent starting point.
NORTHEAST BRANCH
In Mallaig enjoy a stop at the charming staging area. The next staging area is at the hamlet of Ardmore. The City of Cold Lake lies at the end of the trail and offers all services and amenities. Immediately east of the City is Cold Lake Provincial Park.
SOUTHEAST BRANCH
The staging area in the town of St. Paul offers all services: A full service campground, a modern bathroom with showers and even a stocked fish pond. There is also a spectacular metal gateway to the staging area–a tribute to Alberta’s centennial and the rich history of the region.
Carry on to Elk Point which, in 2009, rebuilt its former train station as an EcoCentre and Tourism Office and provides a great staging area close to all services and amenities. Lindbergh offers a welcoming staging area to take a break in this portion of the trail with follows along the North Saskatchewan River. Heinsburg provides a beautiful start or finish to Alberta’s Iron Horse Trail as you begin or end your adventure at their historical Railway Park.
ABILENE JUNCTION
Called “Mile Zero” on the trail, Abilene Junction is the centre of the three trail branches.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The view from the trestle is gorgeous! The bridge feels safe and sturdy. There was a mother bear with her cub, so make sure to bring a whistle or something. We walked from Cold Lake South (5km one way) and it was a muddy dirt road. Not the best, but the view on the Beaver River was worth it!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A very short and easy hike to the bridge. The lookout is of the Beaver River Valley and very nice. Great easy hike for smaller kids that rewards them in an old wooden trussle bridge. Its high up so not for those with vertigo, but very safe. Good morning or afterwork hike/bike.
