Reeds on the Battle

Mar 2, 2022 | Rivers

It was a pretty day for a road trip, so I travelled north of Stettler on Highway 56 to check out the view on the Battle River. And what a view it was!

On the west side of the highway, is a turnoff towards Edberg. Just off the intersection is a parking lot where people can stop and check out the view next to the dam that was built on the river some time ago. (And maybe do some fishing too!)

That’s where I went, except I wanted to get on the other side of the highway to capture some views. Without getting run over by big trucks of course, haha!

Today, they have that part under the bridge blocked off with huge boulders that make it extremely difficult–though not impossible– for people on foot to get to the other side of that bridge. But back then, it wasn’t, which made it a fantastic opportunity to snap this photo!
