This Ontario park has a suspension bridge over a gorge & a valley of fall colours

Nature views don’t get better than this! Ferris Provincial Park is a lesser-known gem in Northumberland County that’s open year-round but is especially beautiful in the fall.

This enchanting park has a pedestrian suspension bridge, plus incredible hiking trails, and even a waterfall.

The bridge overlooks the Trent River Gorge and the surrounding landscape of Trent Hills.

As you cross, you’ll witness breathtaking views of the waters below and the vibrant autumn hues.

Ferris Provincial Park boasts over 10 kilometers of well-maintained trails along the river and through the forests.

The hiking trail will also take you to the lookout over Ralley Falls, a wide plunge waterfall that makes for some spectacular photo ops.

Other activities you’ll have access to include biking, mountain biking trails, fishing, and canoeing through the gorge.
