Elk Falls Suspension Bridge
Campbell River's Popular Natural Wonder
What more could you ask for?
Visit Elk Falls Suspension Bridge
5.5 km from Downtown Campbell River
A thundering waterfall and some of the finest year-round salmon fishing in Canada are just two reasons Elk Falls is one of the most popular provincial parks on Vancouver Island.
Add in extensive networks of forest trails, the nearby Quinsam Salmon Hatchery and, in the fall, the sight of spawning salmon in the Quinsam and Campbell Rivers, and it’s easy to see why this area is beloved by visitors and locals alike.
BC Hydro Interpretive Centre
Understand the History and the Potential
Located at the head of the trail is BC Hydro’s Interpretive Centre. Local museum staff offer an in-depth history of the John Hart Project and updates on its progress through interpretive displays. Visiting the Centre is free and, combined with a walk in Elk Falls Park, it makes for a perfect day out.
