Nestled in the rugged landscape of Ontario’s Superior Country, the Eagle Canyon Suspension Bridge stands as a testament to both engineering marvel and natural beauty.
At an impressive 600 feet in length, this is Canada’s longest suspension bridge, offering a breathtaking experience that stretches high above the canyon floor, 152 feet below.
Located just off Highway 11/17 near Dorion Township, the bridge spans the stunning Eagle Canyon and Bat Lake, providing visitors with unparalleled views of the expansive wilderness. As you step onto the bridge, the sense of adventure begins with every creak and sway underfoot, heightening the thrill of crossing this architectural wonder.
But for those who seek an even greater rush, the adventure doesn’t end at the far side of the bridge. Awaiting the truly daring is Canada’s longest and highest zipline, extending half a mile across the canyon at an exhilarating 175 feet above the ground. This thrilling descent offers a unique perspective of the landscape, with the wind in your hair and the entire canyon spread out before you.
Beyond the bridges, Eagle Canyon offers a wealth of outdoor activities. Explore the numerous wilderness trails that wind through the area, each offering its own scenic vistas and opportunities for discovery. Descend into the canyon via well-maintained stairs and hike along the serene shoreline of the canyon’s spring-fed lake, where the still waters mirror the towering cliffs above.
For those who prefer a more leisurely experience, the site offers shuttle services from the visitor centre to the canyon’s top, ensuring that every visitor, regardless of their adventure threshold, can enjoy the majesty of the area. Picnic areas are also available, providing the perfect spot to relax and take in the panoramic views after a day of exploration.
