Hogans camp north shore
Dennis Hogan was a construction contractor for both railway companies in the early 1910's. For a time Hogan had a 2 span bridge across the Fraser at this camp, to access the south shore. It proved no match for the Fraser river in the spring freshet. Remnants of the bridge approach trail on the northshore are all that remain. If you look across to the south shore you may be able to see the remains of more buildings.
