Dunvegan Bridge
Surrounded by towering poplars and native grasslands on the north bank of the Mighty Peace River, Dunvegan is the ideal place to camp, picnic, hike, explore and learn. The earliest inhabitants of the Dunvegan area were the Beaver Peoples, or Dunne-Za. Evidence suggests they were meeting at Dunvegan on a seasonal basis beginning thousands of years ago. In 1805 the Northwest Company established a fur trading post at the site. It was named Fort Dunvegan after the founders’ ancestral castle in Scotland.

Paved walking trails link flower-lined lawns and a picnic area to a forested campground complete with power hook ups, RV station, horseshoe pits, and wheelchair accessible washrooms. Several large picnic areas, shaded by ancient Manitoba maples, are available west of the bridge in The Maples day use area. A riverside trail leads east to the Dunvegan Gardens, U-pick and mini golf site.
