The Ranney Gorge Suspension Bridge is open daily year round. Located within Ferris Provincial Park, is a great destination for an easy hike and picturesque views. 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.
The bridge was built in 2004 and is a relatively new addition to the area. 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.
For more ideas after visiting the bridge, read Northumberland Tourism’s ‘Suspension Bridge Thrills’ blog.

Love the picture of the suspension bridge. Where would one go to get that view/angle??
I will also go on to the bridge but where do I drive to get to the vantage point of photographing the actual suspension bridge from the view of it above?
Also are the falls colours surrounding it at its peak yet”
Thank you in advance !!

Hello Loretta, Thank you for your comment. The photo was taken with a drone, thus we do not have a viewing point from above. There are many great photography spots from the bridge or within Ferris Provincial Park. Here is a link to the Park Map that may be helpful. You are also welcome to stop into our Tourism Office at 51 Grand Road, Campbellford for some suggestions as well.
