One of North America’s longest wooden train trestles is located just east of the hamlet of Rochfort Bridge. The trestle crosses over the Paddle River valley and Highway 43. Rochfort Bridge Trestle was built in 1919 by Canadian Northern Railway. The Paddle River is a small river which has a tendency to flood during summer rain events. Much of the river has been straightened and dyked to prevent flooding. The Paddle River Dam was built 2 miles upstream of the trestle as the final step to control flooding. The trestle location was also considered for the dam location, but was not feasible.
