Zuckerberg Island
Zuckerberg Island is an 8-hectare outdoor heritage park on an island in the Columbia River at Castlegar, reached via a 473-foot suspension bridge built by the 44th Field Engineer Squadron in 1984. The park centres on a unique Russian Orthodox-style Chapel House built by Alexander Zuckerberg, an Estonian civil engineer and self-taught sculptor who settled here decades ago. Woodland paths, picnic tables, carved sculptures, and a layered Indigenous and European history make it a compelling stop in the Columbia River Valley.
This place is in the traditional territory of the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation, Ĩyãħé Nakón mąkóce (Stoney), Ktunaxa ɁamakɁis, snʕickstx tmxʷúlaʔxʷ (Sinixt), Syilx (Okanagan), and Cayuse, Umatilla and Walla Walla.
