Hamlet of Rochfort Bridge | Alberta Road Trip
Take a drive with us North on Highway 43 Alberta, Canada to check out the Hamlet of Rochfort Bridge and some other Historic sites along the way. The Hamlet of Rochfort Bridge is located in Lac St. Anne County and a must stop if in the area or looking for a short road trip from the city of Edmonton.
This Hamlet in Central Alberta has the longest wooden trestle bridge in North America at an impressive 2414 feet long and 110 feet tall and was constructed in 1914 over the Paddle River (A small section has been replaced with steel).
Check out the Historic Trinity Lutheran Church built in 1933 that still is in operation today and the Trading post located just off the highway that has a small restaurant and gift shop.
We explored the Hamlet of Rochfort Bridge then made our way to Mayerthorpe to check out the Historic Grain Elevators built between 1940-1966.
On our way home we made one last stopover on Onoway Alberta to check out there old wooden Seed and Feed elevator, not sure when it was built we could not find any information. If you know more about these places please let us know in the comments we would love to hear more!
