The Capilano Suspension Bridge



The Capilano Suspension Bridge is a simple suspension bridge crossing the Capilano River in the District of North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The current bridge is 136 metres (446 ft) long and 70 metres (230 ft) above the river. It is part of a private facility, with a charge for admission, and draws over 800,000 visitors a year.




Originally built in 1889 by the Scottish civil engineer, George Grant Mackay, Capilano Suspension Bridge is the oldest and one of the most popular tourist attractions in Vancouver. The bridge offers a squirrel’s view of a thriving coastal forest. Originally the bridge was made of hemp rope and cedar planks but today it has been carefully constructed of reinforced steel. Using custom-engineered steel cables and through regular inspection, the authorities ensure that the bridge does not harm the Douglas fir trees.




Be ready to enjoy a unique blend of adventure, history and culture when you make your way across this famous landmark of Vancouver and refresh your breath in the cedar-scented rainforest air. You can even feel your pulse speeding up, the moment you imagine stepping onto the swaying planks of Capilano Suspension Bridge.
