About Elk Falls Suspension Bridge

Hanging 60 metres above the canyon floor, the Elk Falls Suspension Bridge provides a direct line of sight to a massive waterfall. Built in 2015 by the local Rotary Club, the 64-metre walkway spans the gap near a hydroelectric penstock. Below the metal grates, water rushes past mossy rock walls before dropping over a 25-metre ledge.

Getting to the span requires a walk through a forest of massive old-growth Douglas firs. The main path from the parking lot is wide and packed with gravel, leading hikers straight to the cantilevered viewing platforms.

Mist from the waterfall regularly coats the surrounding trees and observation decks. The site remains open year-round, drawing heavy foot traffic during the spring runoff when the water volume peaks.
