Ranney Gorge Suspension Bridge

Cool bridge, beautiful views on both directions. You can make this a quick stop by just checking out the bridge or longer if you add in a hike and picnic on the attached trails and picnic area in Ferris Conservation area. In the park there's a more rugged trail that follows the fenceline and has more scenic views or an easier trail that runs up higher but doesn't have the same views. Also a variety of trees are labeled in the area if you enjoy that type of thing.

It was nice to see it. Maybe should have parked on the city side vs. the provincial park. Very well engineered bridge. Nothing really spectacular.

Great place for a short walk. Make sure you park in the proper spot. Security does patrol the river bed as we found out. It’s a beautiful spot to be if you were allowed to be in the water. However as you’ll see in the pics you are not supposed to be in the water because the dam can open at anytime…. Yet dam openings are scheduled events. Sooo…..

Great family adventure for a hike along the Ranney Gorge Trail and across the Ranney Gorge Suspension Bridge. About 100m long and 30m above the water - some slight bridge movement, but completely safe and secure (challenge the kids to find the dozen or so padlocks located on the bridge span). This would be awesome with the fall colours. Pack a picnic and wander the park.

Beautiful gorge. Might not spend much time if you go to only see the bridge n lookout. People even camp or picnic there.
Trent Severn waterways is one unique pass for kayak, yatch, boats. They 3 levels and for every step the water level rises and doors open and the boats pass through. Eventually the roadway bridge rotates 180°and makes way for boat to pass the gorge. It was interesting to watch.
