Description
The Historic Kinsol Trestle is open to the public for cyclists, hikers and equestrians to experience the full Cowichan Valley Trail in the Cowichan Region. The Kinsol Trestle is one of eight trestles along the Cowichan Valley Trail route and by far the largest and most spectacular. The Kinsol Trestle is one of the tallest free-standing and most spectacular timber rail trestle structures in the world. At 187 metres in length and standing 44 metres above the salmon bearing Koksilah River, the Kinsol is an incredible structure.

There are a couple possibilities to access the trail. I just had to walk about 400 meter to get to the bridge. Next to the bridge are some info signs and toilets. Many picnic tables around.

Short and easy walk (approx. 1.5km one way) to the top of an old Bridge.

Flat easy walk from the car park There are tracks down to underneath the bridge if you want some cardio. Definitely worth the visit
