The bridge itself is the longest in southern Ontario, spanning 420 feet.
While you're standing on the fenced suspension bridge, you'll be draped above an old-growth forest, which is one that's reached a significant age without being disturbed much by industry.
You can enjoy the sight of it while standing 82 feet above the ground and taking in the 360-degree view.
The way that the structure is built will make you feel like you are floating above the treetops at this scenic getaway in Blue Mountain.
The bridge is flexible and does flow with the wind, so get ready to be rocked on gusty days.
To access it, you can follow a walking trail, which will take you around 45 minutes there and back on foot. During peak hours, they have wagon and tractor rides that can bring you to the site.

Make sure to bring your hiking or running shoes, because they're required for entry, and it's quite a walk.
