Reviews of Elk Falls Suspension Bridge (Tourist Attraction)

Mark Bussanich

The walk from the parking lot is a quite quick! Lots of trails, clean outhouse and the views are excellent. The suspension bridge has high railings and is surrounded by chainlink! Very safe but if you are any thing like me, your stomach will turn when you take your first step on to the bridge haha The views from both the bridge and the Lower deck provide an incredible vantage point showcasing a mesmerizing waterfall that crashes into the creek below. Id love to return one day soon!!

Jen Christine

So beautiful and a nice walk ! The view was amazing!

Paul Taylor

Easy walk from the parking lot to the suspension bridge across the Campbell River gorge. Great view of Elk Falls from the bridge.

William Bakker

Great waterfall plus suspension bridge. Must visit!

Markus Schnell

Great hiking trails, lots to explore

Beautiful and easy enough for the kids to walk!

paigemossey

Great short walk to do with the family! 20 mins through the forest and ending at an amazing waterfall and of course the suspension bridge.

Bryn Erickson

Hope you like heights.

Robyn Dunbar

Beautiful

Mars Bar

It's a small trek down the path but stairs to the bridge. Beautiful area to see. A huge sarcastic thanks to the one couple who's dog was let off leash and bit my mom in the leg. Their reaction was to ignore it and say nothing.

Terry Figueiredo

An amazing way to view the falls

Trevor Richardson

Great easy accessible hike for the family. There are a few other trails around if you want to explore a little more in a much quieter setting. Picnic tables, outhouses, paved parking lot.

Sherrill Lasenba

This is a spitaular spot

Angelo Siglos

Brett Hanna

Easy walk, gorgeous bridge. Great view!

Mike M

For those unexpected visitors and a what to see in a short period of time, this is the place! Trails and streams to spectacular Elk Falls are viewed from a subtle bouncing suspension bridge. You’ll be sure to visit again rain or shine!

Podila Pragnyaspoorthi

Must visit place in Campbell River.

damon h

Not far off the highway. Just enough walk for a stretch. Beautiful with sturdy suspension bridge. Need some trash bins along the way, I accidently left my coffee cup after putting it down for a pic.

Saurabh Patel

One of the best falls on Vancouver Island. Worth going if you are in Campbell river.

Sandra Purchase

Pretty amazing veiws !

Shirley Tam

Like this one better than the one in Vancouver

Nehemiah

I've loved this trail since I was a kid. And with the new additions and upgrades from BChydro it is only that much better. The trail isn't difficult and it is well maintained.

Clint Hiebert

Easy hike and amazing views!

Great

steve meadows

Good signage, ample parking, easy walk to the bridge and falls viewing area

Tracy Bain

Beautiful area to spend a few hours. Pack a picnic to eat on the rocks at the bottom of the river. I found this trail a little bit more difficult than Little Qualicum falls but worth the muscle pain the next day. I don't like heights but the suspension bridge was cool as well.

Erin Acton

A beautiful and small suspension bridge that gave thrills and chills and a great view of Elk Falls.

Laura Janssen

Great walk up to the bridge! Beautiful woods, and a very cool view!

Beautiful park! Great hiking! I do warn dog owners the metal bridge and steps can tear dogs pads to shreds. Please be aware the metal on the steps and bridge is Sharpe on their feet.

Braden Nakonechny

Easy, walk on trails, beautiful falls. You can get right down to the water.

Healthy Transformation

In the top 5 for waterfall experiences on Vancouver Island. Breathtaking. Especially with the addition of the suspension bridge. If you’re planning a trip to Strathcona Park this is right on the way. 2 kms our of Campbell River, 47kms more just to the entrance of the park. A must stop scenic adventure. Very worthwhile.

Debby Baker

Awesome little walk right outside Campbell River! If you're visiting the area, you can stay at the campground just down the highway. An awesome experience any time of year!

Pankaj Babla

Cute & little. Must visit place in Campbell river. Thank you to BC Hydro program.

Lilian Francisquete

Amazing place????

Karen Donaldson (Sentimental Yarn)

The new addition is awesome. We walked all the trails and enjoyed every view. Construction in the area was a distraction getting in, but not within the park.

John Harrison

It was awesome

Kai rosen

Awesome place to check out if your going through campbell river. The view is amazing and the walk is easy. Great place to bring kids, friends, a date or even your pet

cappuccino glace

To nice

Daniel Shu

Visit this place if you are in Campbell River. Not too far from the hwy. This location is kind of not marked very well. GPS was also not clear. Drove all the way over a dam and then asked a few locals and got directed back to this place. So note this when you go here. Beautiful area and the suspension bridge is great too with various viewing areas.

Ольга Хоружая

(Translated) A very strong and not at all scary bridge. (Original) Очень крепкий и совсем не страшный мост.

Amber Brideau

I bring everyone that visits me up to this beautiful scenery. It's just a great, quick, easy hike (took my 2 year old nephew) and the waterfall is just stunning during the fall and winter months when there is a lot of water running.

Amos

Very nice place to take the kids for a walk.

Donna M. Holland

Awesome views, I miss living near here!

Sam Robertson

Beautiful area with a suspension bridge for people who love heights lol

Erik Wright

Elk Falls is only 10 minutes out of town and yet feels like it's in the middle of a lush rainforest environment. There's lots of RV parking and the trail is a very easy 10 minute hike to the bridge. Definitely worth stopping for a rest if you're headed up island.

Lance Smith

Great park, I saw a group of unicorns shooting a music video. the falls are also breathtaking, on a nice sunny day, they make the most amazing rainbows! This place is great to go for a hike, a super magickal forest!

Brenda Caston

Great scenary, well serviced path and suspension bridge is very sturdy.

Shawn H

Must see waterfall close to town. The bridge is cool too!

Rachael Jancowski

The bridge was pretty neat!!

David Strang

It never fails to move me

Elena Winkel

Nice views, enjoyed the trail to the canyon view bridge, it was very calm and not crowded at all. Elevation drops towards that 2nd bridge, so might consider going down there with a wheelchair/stroller. Looking forward to the new canyon trail opening up soon.

Louis Bustamante

Getting better every time we visit !

Bill Miles

Awesome

Dan Yang

Parking is very convenient. It is not a far hike down to the falls and the suspension bridge. Beautiful water fall, trails are nice and well maintained. Highly recommend to others that want to see something beautiful that doesnt take up a whole day.

Sir Hxgh

Must visit

neil fisher

For $46 Canadian dollars you can walk across the Capilano Suspension Bridge in North Vancouver or for $0 you can walk across the Elk Fall Suspension Bridge. Here's an opportunity to walk across a super fun suspension bridge that neighbour's the incredibly beautiful Elk Falls. It's a short and easy walk from the parking lot - perfectly suitable for all ages. Four legged family members may be a bit scared of the perforated metal walk ways, so consider leaving them at home if they're not the adventurous type. Rain may deter some, but consider that Elk Falls truly come to life during intense winter precipitation.

Greg Heiman

Good little hike to the bridge.

Laura Ogden

Supremely cool. Beautiful natural setting with just the right amount of human interference. You can still get great views without crossing the bridge, but if you can, your really should go to the other side, justv to say you did.

Chris tuttle

Awesome place to take out of town guests????

Ed Y

amazing waterfalls

Stephen Philps

A beautiful view and natural feature only 15 minutes out of Campbell River! Make sure you stop by.

adam guthridge

Pretty cool view from the bridge on either side. There are a couple of other vantage points of the falls around the trails that are better than the suspension bridge itself. A few pools for swimming further upstream looked nice too.

I am Lynda

Awesome... Such a beautiful place

dorian o

Quite a beautiful spot

Philippe Rodrigues

(Translated) A small easy walk to a waterfall, beautiful view from the suspension bridge. (Original) Une petite balade facile vers une cascade, très belle vue depuis le pont suspendu.

Jim Quitevis

This place ia wonderful. Took my kids around the trail and it is easy enough for them to follow. The view of the falls from the lower view point is unreal. The suspension bridge offers you a great view of the canyon. The trail surrounding the area will take you close to the river. I'd do the trail again with my family if I'm ever in the area.

Alana Stacy

Gorgeous views. Cannot go wrong hiking down to a raging waterfall.

JS

Awesome walk thru the forest to amazing views!

Lynette Meek

I love the Elk falls and the new, well newish now,. Is always a beautiful ???? walk. The stairs are challenging as I have bad knees but oh so worth the climb. The views from the bridge and lookout points are stellar. I first walked along the Falls and the river over 10 years ago and have appreciated the changes and improvements that have been made over the years.

Great picnic spot.

Mike Laatsch

AWESOME! Great little hike down to the bridge with all new stairs and a viewing platform as well as the bridge. Go when the water is at its highest for a powerful experience.

Devipriya Raju

The falls is one of the beautiful falls I have ever visited. If you are going to park near the falls, then it takes only 15 minutes to reach the falls. But I would suggest people to take the trail road and then reach the falls. It is a good moderate hike especially for the people who goes from beginner hike to moderate ones

Beautiful walk through a forest to a striking waterfall. Several benches along the wheelchair-friendly path. There are stairs to get to the last portion of the walk, however.

Matthew Laws

Amazing looking place. The bridge is a great draw and the walks are incredible and look astonishing. Wish they were slightly better sign posted. Plenty of space for a swim in crystal clear waters.

Etienne Brown

Good views of the falls, short walk on new and well maintained path to the suspension bridge.

Kishore kumar

I just lost myself ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

John Kelleher

Great hike, easy to moderate, despite rain a great afternoon under the Douglas fir.

Freddy

Feels a little like you're in prison, particularly at the end, but the view off the bridge is fantastic!

Darkes Dunsmuir

Very pretty, nicely kept trails. We always take family when they're visiting and our cat loves the railings. Bridge is easy to get to and provides quite the view of the river. Definitely not for those afraid of heights but there's a nice viewing platform as well if the bridge is too much.

John Costa

Beautiful walk to elk falls. Did the entire10k loop. The falls themselves drop a hundred feet. The spension bridge crosses the gorge and overlooks the falls. The bridge is stable and confidence inspiring - for those afraid of heights. I''m not sure what I love more - the walk through the rainforest or the view of the falls. Bring water and be prepared for a good hike. There are picknick tables. If you're in the area, it's a must see.

Anita Barany

Lots of hiking trails around. Your options are to hike a few KMs or simply get to the falls in about 10 minutes from the parking lot. Stairs will take you to see the falls and unfortunately there is no wheelchair access to the falls. The suspension bridge does not wobble much, very sturdy. Once on rhe other side you cannot see the fall from the platform however Mother Nature is still beautiful.

Jim Whitesell

This is a modern, well engineered and well built walking bridge. The short hike from parking is easy and there is a lookout nearby that is accessible. Once you arrive near the bridge, there are many levels of steps to get down to the bridge itself. To the right is a viewing platform for those not brave enough to venture out on the suspension bridge; those who do walk the bridge are rewarded with fantastic views and the knowledge they did it! Crossing the bridge puts you at a second viewing area with no place else to go, so you must cross the bridge again and experience the gentle swaying (unless others are jumping and moving to make it sway as much as possible! Kudos to the visionaries who made this a reality. It is a true gem.

Paige Labrecuqe

A small walk to get the the bridge and it's so amazing

Tom H

Very cool! The bridge barely even wobbles for those that are afraid of heights.

alberto “Beto” berriel

Awesome place!!!

LeeAnna Springer

Very cool view of the falls, easy hike down to the falls area...careful with the stairs and walking on the bridge...it can get slippery.

Achille Pelletier

Very impressive sights from a nicely designed bridge and platforms

Richard Mann

Great walk up from the river if you want some exercise. You can then watch the salmon fishermen. Its certainly a big bridge and the new platforms make for excellent viewing.

derek joseph jr

Amazing an awesome hike love this place so much

Conor MacLoclen

A wicked construction. Great views and well-maintained trails.

MrBitterfitter

A great place to visit with family and friends while visiting the Campbell River area.

Daniel Kendrick

Great place to take family for a tour and we love to walk the dogs here too!

John “Jay” McGowan

A delightful walk to view a spectacular waterfall and old growth forest. The history lesson was a bonus. One has to be impressed by the vision someone had to initiate and complete such an amazing project in the early 1940s. An the vision continues with the recent upgrading of the power generators. But that his another story. There are various walks for almost all levels of fitness. There were elderly walkers and families navigating the paths with strollers. Just be aware that there are multiple flights of stairs if one wishes to access the suspension bridge. but the bridge is only ONE feature in this park. The paths are also popular with dog walkers. Though on-leash is the park policy, it does not appear to be enforced. If you are uncomfortable with free roaming pets, beware. Take the time to visit the information centre adjacent to the parking lot. It gives a very good pictorial history of this visionary project and subsequent evolution. The staff is enthusiastic and well informed.

Terence LaVerdure

Amazing bridge, stunning views and sounds.

Mario Stockmann

Wonderful place to visit loved

Peggy Young

Sturdy suspension bridge, gives great view of the falls.

George Sranko

Scenic spot, but the metal bridge infrastructure doesn't fit the scenery. I guess it is built that way for added safety and longevity, just too bad it has to look so industrial.

Charles Cox

????????????

Dave Murray

Nice walk on a good smooth path. A short walk not too steep. The suspension bridge spans a deep ravine with a spectacular falls. A lower observation deck gives a great vantage of the falls. Be aware of the metal stairs and bridge. It is designed to be walkable in damp conditions. Several people brought dogs which is not advisable unless you can carry them. The deck is spikey with galvanized metal. Was extremely uncomfortable for the canines little feet. It is a nice spot to go to cool off in the summer with the shade of the trees and cool mist of the torrent.

Ioana Didac

Such a beautiful place! I hope to go back one day!

Meesh

Easy and short walk from the parking lot! Great view of the waterfall from the middle of the suspension bridge as well as from a lower lookout point adjacent to the bridge.

Easy hike from parking to the falls and the suspension bridge. And the view from the middle of the bridge overlooking the gorge is gorgeous ????

Mahta

A stunning nice place Just be aware the toilets are pit although there are a lot of them and all are designed so well and nice still there are some issues with them... ???????????? The other problem was that we couldn’t find any water fountain or any faucet or anything around there Except for those, the place is very nice and worth to visit specially the view of the falls at the end of the short easy hike

Ben Grantham

Worth the drive and the hike into the site. The river makes a sharp left hand turn immediately after rolling over the falls, and it's produced an interesting chasm below the bridge. New and well maintained structures help to alleviate the usual suspension bridge related apprehension many might experience.

Brenda Bauer

A short walk along well maintained trail. The falls are magnificent as is the Suspension Bridge. Several other short trails are in the area and all are very well marked. There are maps at every trail intersection. Very impressed! Parking lot is easy to find on Brewster Road. Outhouses and BC Hydro Information Centre there as well and just a couple minutes drive to the dam.

Original Flow

Great little spot for a fairly easy hike through some old growth forest and then you get blown away by this incredible canyon with a good sized waterfall! Its a must see if you are in the area, highly recommend!

Michael G. Khmelnitsky

Don't listen to the naysayers: There's nothing "artificial" or "lame" about the suspension bridge or waterfall! I guess if you were spoiled by Capilano or Lynn Valley, you might be expecting something grandiose, but what you have here is a decent, pleasant hike to a lovely series of steps and bridges that brings you to a lovely bridge over a picturesque valley, with the roaring Elk Falls to the left. I loved the hike and was utterly mesmerised by the waterfall. I highly recommend the trip for everyone and look forward to coming back myself one day.

Mike Allen

Nice short hike with great views of the waterfall.

Nancy Kwasty

Beautiful forested path leads down to the suspension bridge and observation point overlooking the falls. There are many stairs involved ..but they have wisely placed nice benches along the path to relax and enjoy the scenery and trees. Its spectacular and worth the effort.

Joel & Dallen Ferrie

Awesome bridge! Great view of the falls.

Krystal Patience

We walked from the elk falls provincial campground with our 5 year old. It was much farther than we thought but well worth the hike. You can also be more simple and drive to the parking lot and walk there within minutes. The bridge is in perfect repair and the view is incredible. The actual falls are powerful and breath taking. Enjoy!

Yechan Kim

Maureen Gallinger

Great place to take visitors.

Carmie Rae

Elk Falls is an amazing gem!! The suspension bridge adds a whole new perspective to your experience. The walking trails are well maintained and the area is clean and respected by users. There is quite a large staircase system to access the suspension bridge and viewing platform, but the falls can easily be viewed from the walking trails. If you find yourself in Campbell River or area, a stop at Elk Falls should be in order.

zvi gilinsky

A beautiful waterfall if you are in the area, definitely not worth a special drive...

Great place to go for an easy walk

Dave Nickel

Great spot for a short hike and view of the canyon and bridge!

jimmi hendrix

Breathingly beautiful

Michael Bladowski

nice to see, but everything looks very artificial like its created for tourists. too much metal steps and the bridge absolutly does not fit into this beautiful nature, the bridge and its platform is only made for tourists to have a little "nice feeliing about height", thats all. at the other side of the bridge you only find pure metal and a wooden bench to sit, the view shows the start of the falls, so nothing special.... nice to see if you don´t know what todo, you can handle this in 30minutes if you walk fast....

GRAVE DIGGER

Definitely a must-see well worth the drive and the effort short walk 5 minutes from the parking lot easy access for wheelchair excetera

Aaron Romeiro

Nice short walk with rewarding view.

Logan Kozak

Awesome bridge

Fantastic view of the falls now that the new viewing area has been completed. Well made, the suspension bridge allows for a unforgettable experience.

Easy walk from parking lot and wheel chair friendly as far as the top viewing area at the of the stairs that descend to the lower viewing platform. It is definately worth the ten minute walk.

Jann Dyck

Short walk, fantastic views

Geoff Stewart

Stunning spot.

Richie I

Lovely way to see the waterful. For a suspension bridge it's very stable. High sides with wire fencing. The floor is corrugated steel.

Sean Feagan

Fantastic forest and wondrous waterfall

Peter McLorg

Scenic hike from the parking lot down to the waterfalls, it's about a ten-minute drive from Campbell River. The bridge is new I wish people would pick up after themselves.

Darrell Fraser

Very scenic walk, only wish it was longer.

Cindy Tang

suspension bridge is right next to elk falls. The view is amazing. The bridge got see through bottoms and sides, and people who is afraid of heights probably have a hard time to cross.

Travis Mason

Thanks Rotary Club for the Bridge.

Aura-Lee McDonald

Beautiful part of Vancouver Island! Easy walking trails to the falls. Heads up though, there are stairs.

A short simple walk. Came back the exact same way as went down. Went during release of extra water and that was very cool. Wonder if there will be more trails added.

Kalpki Gebert

Beautiful! Nice trail but a lot of stairs. Just be careful if stairs are a struggle is all.

Jacob Rambo

Scary

steve newman

Wonderfully made accessible beauty of nature! Dint be another dead person at the bottom, Stay away from the water. Signs are there for a reason not a suggestive thought! Go enjoy and please live to tell about it not others telling about what happen to you!

Amazing View of the fall from the Suspension bridge. Please do go to the old lookout too.

Mike Bennett

7:50am Feb 2, 2020 They are releasing water from the dam. ????

The bridge just goes over the falls nothing on the other side. Water level was down. Nice walk down, but multiple stairs at the bottom. Bridge is more wiggly than I expected There are wash rooms there

Aly T

Loved it... beautiful walk. Got some great pictures of the kids. Very safe to being kids (8 and 6 years old) the bridge was a big hit with them. Definitely a have to see.

Shannon

Nicely treed walking trails, lovely waterfall with good viewing platform and the suspension bridge over the gorge. Your dog(s) would love it too.

LTRMcrew

Both adults and kids enjoyed this visit. Kids 8 & 11. Very good path leading to the bridge. About 5 flights of stairs to go down and then back up. Bridge is very secure and not much movement. Koodos to the Rotory Club for installing it. Beautiful view of Elk Falls. Definitely worth the quick side trip from Campbell River. 15 mins drive. Hike 15 mins each way. Stroller accessible till the stairs.

Troy Johnston

What a beautiful place to walk. Pretty easy walk for most :)

Desiree D

Gorgeous

Danny Albrecht

Large network of well groomed trails with great views.

Willy Froese

Nice walk to the falls, and view of them from the suspension bridge. 1.2 km with 109 stairs each way, so accessability will be an issue for some.

You can get a spectacular view of the falls by walking out on the bridge, also you can see through the bridge to the bottom of the canyon hundreds of feet below.

Scary as hell, but I'm afraid of heights. Really fun and crazy stuff. Highly recommend checking it out. .

Barbara Gibson

Beautiful place to walk.

Mitch C.

This is a really neat find when you are in or near Campbell River. The trail maps could be better... and Google's own trail maps seem incomplete (not all the trails are shown) but it's a very impressive waterfall. The trails allow several different views and the easiest ones are probably fairly accessible for older people or people just getting started with hiking. The trails are short and the viewing platforms are solid with great safety railings. Dogs will probably find the metal grating uncomfortable though but it's really safe and non-skid for people. The improved access was created as part of a community project in cooperation with BC Hydro. As part of seismic upgrades the power house and penstocks are being replaced. The originals seem here (made of WOOD! and cables) will be removed soon and no one will see site again. The new waterflow is a tunnel. Really a neat walk. Glad we found it.

Corinne Ross

Amazing so well made and maintained. Definitely worth a visit and close to Campbell River

Quite a hike but we'll worth it.

Nicole Lemke

Easy access to parking from main road. Clean or gravel pathways with beautiful scenery. Hikes are good for kids and grandparents. Lots of stairs and some steep sections from the bridge.

Absolutely breathtaking

Great short hike to spectacular Elk Falls. Suspension bridge over the Canyon and falls. Multiple short hikes along the river and through the rain forest. I sat on the waters edge and soaked my feet in the cool water up stream of the Elk Falls near a second set of falls. I wish I would have taken my bathing suit so I could have taken a swim. There were others swimming in the river and the lake.

Sharon Green

Beautiful place to visit.

Julieta Morawski

The hike to the falls is good just 35 min to and from. Great view.

Rick Harrison

We really enjoyed the chance to walk out on the supension bridge. You get a great view of the falls and the water down below. It's not too long a hike, but there is a fair bit of up and down, if you have any mobility issues. The co-ordinates to the parking lot, for a GPS or map program are: 50.03808 N, 125.33039 W (Decimal), --or-- 50° 2' 17.09" N 125° 19' 49.4" W (Degrees, Minutes, Seconds )

Sturdy suspension bridge.

fnaf plush gaming channel

The bridge is amazing. It snowed the day we were there and it was magical on the bridge in the snow. Easy walk to get into also.

Gerad Coles

Great view and the trail to the bridge is beautiful. Just need more trail on the other end of the bridge.

Roderick Verchere

Long walk

James Sproule

The walk and the view are well worth the time and effort. The trees and the path are a nice lead up to the falls which are pretty impressive. This is a good attraction in the Campbell River area and I would recommend it to anyone in the area who has an hour or two for an easy walk.

(Translated) Well, I expected something more. It's okay, but we have that in Switzerland quite often - only the vegetation is of course a little different. For that we usually have a great view of the mountains. (Original) Naja, ich hätte etwas mehr erwartet. Ist ganz ok, aber sowas haben wir in der Schweiz öfters - nur die Vegetation ist natürlich etwas anders. Dafür haben wir dann meist noch einen tollen Ausblick in die Berge.

Cool little walk with a waterfall at the end. The suspension bridge is pretty awesome too, it's pretty high and gives a good view

Diane Jackson

Really nice place

Jeffrey Kosar

Really a wonderful sight to see

willem smit

Short hike towards the bridge. But there are various trails with km markings. The bridge gives a great view on the river. There wasn't much public at the bridge.

Mark Nagra

Fantastic walk down to the falls, with Covid social distancing signs on the trail and the suspension bridge above the falls. What a great place to see.

Rob Siebert

Really awesome place. Worth doing the hikes. Suspension bridge was really done well. View is spectacular.

Kevin Stumpy Campbell

Never disappointed by being there.

New bridge, great view, awesome easy path

Jason Clark

This is an excellent little adventure to go on. And the craziest part: it's FREE (I'm looking at you Capilano). A short drive from Campbell River will get you to the start of the park where it's a short, curated, walk down to the falls and the bridge. Multiple viewing points let you see the falls from different angles. Climb down a few flights of stairs will get you to the very safe bridge which provides an experience of its own crossing and epic views of the falls and canyon.
