The Marc Kingsbury Memorial Bridge is a pedestrian and cycling bridge spanning the Illecillewaet River, connecting downtown Revelstoke to the Illecillewaet Greenbelt and trails on the river’s south side. It was named after Marc Kingsbury, a beloved Revelstoke resident and outdoor enthusiast who passed away in a kayaking accident. Stop in the middle of the Marc Kingsbury Bridge on clear evenings and watch Mount Begbie glow pink with alpenglow, and in the spring.

The Illecillewaet Greenbelt runs through cottonwood and spruce forests and marshland, offering great riverside views. The trail is wide and well-maintained, open to walking, jogging, cycling, dog walking, birdwatching, photography, cross-country skiing, or snowshoeing in winter. The greenbelt creates easy access downtown for dining and shopping.

The Columbia River flows through Revelstoke and is surrounded by dramatic mountain scenery with views of Mount Begbie and the Selkirk Mountains. This stretch of the river is heavily controlled by dams and reservoirs and provides power through the Columbia Basin hydro system. Animals such as bald eagles, ospreys, and herons call this river home.

Beautiful hike, nice fur trees, beautiful pine trees, nice open meadows,

We used komoot as a guide. However, part of the road was flooded that day. Not all paths are always accessible.

The mouth of the Illecillewaet River into the Columbia River was a storage place for fur traders in the 19th century. Later it became a supply point for miners in the area. The place continued to grow in the 1880s, when the Canadian Pacific Railway was built, and was called Farwell. After completion of the railway in 1885, the settlement was a base of the railway line and after Lord Revelstoke (a noble title of the banking family Baring, London), an investor in the railway line, renamed Revelstoke.
