The Buntzen Lake Suspension Bridge is located in a 250 m long canal between Buntzen Lake and McCombe Lake. See the location HERE. If you are walking clockwise (west side of lake first) around the lake, you have completed about 60% of the full lake loop when you reach this location.
The 50 m long suspension bridge was constructed by: C.F.S.M.E. – QL3-9105 (F) Field Engineer, CFB Chilliwack and designed by Siefken Engineering. It officially opened 5 June 1992.
A sign on the bridge states ‘maximum 4 people on bridge at one time’ That seems a little overly cautious. I’ve seen between 10 and 15 people on the bridge. The photos below show a suspension bridge bolt and cable and next below, the west anchors.
I’ve seen many dogs walk trepidly across the bridge due to its shaking. Its kind of funny to see a dog stop in its tracks or head back !!
Below is a photo of me on the bridge…
