Explore Elk Falls Provincial Park on a hike that takes you over a 64 m high suspension bridge.

What you can experience here

The forests in Elk Falls Provincial Park are mostly secondary forest, as many trees fell victim to the saw at the beginning of the last century. In 1929 the forest in what is now the park area had been almost completely cleared. The timber could be transported away easily via the river in those days. A 64 m long suspension bridge spans the gorge of the Campbell River. As you walk across it, it swings gently and you have a wonderful view of a waterfall.
