Visit the Suspension Bridge at Crazy Creek

Picture
If you happen to be driving through the Eagle’s Pass near Revelstoke, you may want to make a pit stop at Crazy Creek.  This waterfall is part of 138 hectares of trust land that was once the community of Taft.  From the late 1800’s up to 1918, this community, which consisted of twenty houses, a Church/School House, several large rooming houses, a supply store, C.P.R. Train Station and Hotel, was established around a large sawmill.  During its heyday, this mill and logging camps employed hundreds of men.  Logs from the upper reaches of Crazy Creek Valley were hauled down to the mill on a logging railway.

Picture
This sawmill was powered by water piped down from the above falls through a 14 inch wood stave pipeline.  Up to 150 pounds of pressure turned the waterwheel which drove the large band saw.  Some of the old building foundations and parts of the pipeline are still visible today and are being developed with the help of funds raised from the suspension bridge and falls.

For those who want to stay a bit longer, you are in luck! The falls are part of the Crazy Creek Resort, a 165-acre year-round resort also featuring three hot pools and a cool plunge pool as 2 kilometres of frontage on the Eagle River.  RV sites, suites and cabins are available for those who want to explore the nearby hiking and sledding trails.

How to Get There: Crazy Creek Resort is located at 6162 Trans-Canada Highway 1 Malakwa, B.C. west of Revelstoke. For more information call Toll Free 1-855-836-4097 or visit their website at www.crazycreekwaterfalls.com
