Sightseeing
The Ranney Gorge Suspension Bridge is open daily year round. Located within Ferris Provincial Park, is a great destination for an easy hike and picturesque views. This great, family-oriented, natural adventure hovers 30′ above the Ranney Gorge just south of the falls. As you make your way across the 300-foot-long bridge, you will feel it sway slightly below your feet.

It's a gorgeous fall to see but unfortunately due to the careless behaviour of some visitors, the road to the falls is gated and closed to stop vehicles passing.
You may park as shown in the picture. But someone says police may issue tickets. So visit at your own risk.
