The Ranney Gorge suspension bridge is a 100-metre span of steel, suspended 10 metres above the turbulent Trent River at Ranney Falls. This location provides for a unique experience with sights of Ranney Falls, river currents, eddies, high gorge cliffs and the gentle sway of trees.

The flight locks operate simultaneously, with both upbound and downbound boats on the move through the locks, so follow the lockmaster’s instructions.
