Gorge de Coaticook & Foresta Lumina
Parc de la Gorge de Coaticook
A 169-metre pedestrian suspension bridge spanning a gorge 50 metres deep. At night, the forest becomes an immersive light trail.
In the Coaticook Gorge Park, the Coaticook River has carved a gorge about 50 m deep. The pedestrian suspension bridge, completed in 1988, is 169 m long and was once listed by Guinness as the longest pedestrian suspension bridge in the world. During the day you can walk the gorge trails and climb an observation tower, and in winter you can explore on snowshoes. On summer and autumn nights, the Foresta Lumina light trail is open. Created by Montreal's Moment Factory team, it is a 2 km forest path that uses projections and sound to tell legends. It is the most popular night activity in the Eastern Townships. Daytime entry costs about CAD 10, and night tours cost about CAD 30. Advance booking is required.
Opening hours
Daytime approx. 09:00–17:00; night tours after sunset (seasonal)
