Eagle Canyon Suspension Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

This suspension bridge is the highlight of the canyon — stretching across a deep gorge with wide views of the cliffs, forest, and lake below. Stepping onto it feels a bit adventurous, with a slight sway and open metal grating underfoot. It’s the highest suspension bridge in Canada, and the perspective from the middle is the best place to appreciate the rugged canyon walls and the calm water far beneath. The suspension bridges are open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., typically from May 15 to October 15. There is an entrance fee: around CAD $23 for adults and CAD $13 for children (ages 4–8). You can find more information here: eaglecanyonadventures.ca

Eagle Canyon Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Eagle Canyon Trail is a short, scenic walk along the canyon rim, mixing forest paths with views of cliffs and blue lakes. Start by crossing the long suspension bridge, then the smaller one, before descending into the canyon. The lakeshore section offers a quieter look at the rock walls and water. The trail is straightforward but can be rocky and rooty, so bring good shoes, water, and bug spray. Facilities are only at the entrance.
