This great, family-oriented, natural adventure hovers 30′ above the Ranney Gorge just south of the falls. As you make your way across the 300-foot-long bridge, you will feel it sway slightly below your feet.
Located right beside locks 11 & 12 at the south end of Campbellford, the Ranney Gorge Suspension Bridge is on the Trans Canada Trail and within easy walking distance from the locks and into downtown Campbellford.
After you cross the Ranney Gorge Suspension Bridge, you will have assess to the trail system located inside of Ferris Provincial Park. The trails are open year round for visitors to enjoy for hiking, cross-country skiing, cycling or just to spend some quality time enjoying the panoramic views.
For more ideas after visiting the bridge, read Northumberland Tourism’s Suspension Bridge Thrills blog.
The idea of a suspension bridge spanning the gorge as a way to improve viability and enhancing Ferris Park was discussed and The Rotary Club of Campbellford embraced the idea.
Support for the bridge grew and became a reality when the Engineers of 8 Wing CFB Trenton agreed to construct the bridge as a training project. Ground for this huge undertaking was first broke on September 3, 2002.
The 8th Wing CFB Trenton completed their assignment on December 18th, 2003. Without their commitment this grand tourist attraction would not have been possible.
The Grand Opening and Dedication of the Ranney Gorge Suspension Bridge was held on Wednesday, June 23, 2004.
