Manitoba is home to several suspension bridges including the longest swinging suspension bridge in Canada.
If you’re feeling brave enough to cross one of these amazing bridges, here are a few that you’ll want to check out.
Pinawa Heritage Suspension Bridge
Pinawa is well-known for its heritage sites. Its suspension bridge floats 4 meters above the Pinawa channel and goes for about 50 meters.
If you go in the winter, you’ll be able to ski in the area, while in the summer there are plenty of beautiful hiking trails. As you cross the bridge, make sure to keep an eye out for wildlife in the area. And once you’re done at the bridge, make sure you pay a visit to Pinawa’s old dam!
Directions: Alice Chambers Trail off Hwy. 211.

Souris Swinging Bridge
If you truly want to get to know Manitoba, then visiting one of its main attractions is the way to go.
The Souris Swinging Bridge was constructed in 1904 by Squire Sowden to improve access from his own property to the town on the other side of the Souris River. But don’t worry, the bridge’s age does not affect its safety!
It’s been reinforced multiple times since its construction. Today, the bridge is 184 meters long (604 feet) and is currently the longest swinging suspension bridge in Canada.
Directions: Souris

Senkiw Bridge
First built in 1946 as a way for the area’s schoolchildren to reach their school on the other side of the Roseau River, the Senkiw Bridge now stands as part of the Great Canadian Trail. The section to which it belongs, the Crow Wing Trail, is a beautiful hiking spot.
The bridge itself offers a beautiful view year-round, and there are plenty of things to do around the bridge.
In the summer, pack a lunch to have at the picnic area. In the winter, make your way down the river bank and enjoy some ice fishing.
Address: Crow Wing Trail, Senkiw Bridge Access Point

Rotary Bridge over Kwasitchewan Falls
This bridge is perfect for visitors who are looking for an absolutely stunning view. You’ll find the Rotary Bridge over the Kwasitchewan Falls in Pisew Falls Provincial Park.
Spend some time hiking around the park and checking out the area’s wildlife before hitting the bridge. The trails are a challenge, especially during colder months, so make sure to bring the appropriate gear.
The view from the suspension bridge as you look upon the falls will make the whole ordeal worth it.

Here, you’ll find nature trails, plenty of fishing, and swimming and canoeing along the river. You’ll also be treated to the park’s suspension bridge over the Brokenhead River. The bridge spans 120 feet and offers an amazing viewing point of the park.
If you keep your eyes peeled, you may even see some of the river’s turtles! Things to Do in Beausejour

Volunteers built the bridge in 1967 during the summer as a way of generating further interest in the town’s Lansdowne Centennial Park. It’s a great place to go if you’re interested in checking one of Manitoba’s smaller towns.
You’ll have fun crossing the river and feeling the bridge swing and bounce under your feet.
