Star Mine Suspension Bridge
A roughly 100-metre swaying suspension bridge in Rosedale, where miners once crossed daily on their way to work on the other side of the river.
The Star Mine Suspension Bridge is in Rosedale, about 6 km southeast of Drumheller. It spans roughly 117 metres and was built in 1931 so that Star Coal Mine workers could cross the river to reach the mine. It has been repaired many times since. Today visitors can walk out onto the bridge for free. Feel the sway as you take in the Red Deer River and the badlands on both banks. A trail on the far side leads to the old mine site. You can easily combine a visit with the nearby village of Wayne and the hoodoos.
