BC suspension bridge takes you soaring over a 25 m high waterfall
On Vancouver Island, just two kilometres from Campbell River, you can find one of the most popular provincial parks on the Island – Elk Falls.
This captivating park is perfect for hikers and nature lovers, with plenty of trails to explore and an exciting salmon spawning season each fall in the Quinsam and Campbell Rivers.
You can set up camp by the river or just visit for the day. The park’s hiking trails will lead you to a roaring 25-metre waterfall, old-growth Douglas fir trees, and the suspension bridge.

After an 800-metre hike (easy peasy), you can find the breathtaking suspension bridge. It’s an easy find for families with small kids and those who aren’t necessarily the most outdoorsy in the world.
