context_page_description: Kiskatinaw is a tributary of the Peace River in northeastern British Columbia, Canada.
  Bearhole Lake Provincial Park and Protected Area is established around the headwaters of the river, and One Island Lake Provincial Park is located on the beginning course. The Kiskatinaw Provincial Park is established on the mid course of the river, east of the Alaska Highway, along the old alignment of the highway, at the site of a curved wooden bridge. This bridge was constructed with the Alaska Highway during the Second World War. Its curved design strategically helped prevent attacks from bombs. Due to its hairpin curve, completion took nine months.
  Fishing for walleye pike and rainbow trout is an attraction on the lower course of the river.
  The river gives the name to the Kiskatinaw Formation, a siliciclastic formation of Carboniferous age.
