Eagle Canyon Adventures is Lake Superior's Circle Tour's #1 tourist attraction. It is home to Canada's longest suspension footbridge and longest zipline. And it is just minutes away from the amenities the town of Dorion has to offer and only 45 minutes east of Thunder Bay.

When paying for the privilege of walking on Canada's longest suspension bridge, the lady in the office asked the two RV Gypsies if they wanted a ride to the bridge. Lee Duquette asked how long the walk was and she said it would take about 5 minutes. Lee said they could walk that. But what they did not know was how STEEP the hill was... and they soon found out that it was VERY steep.

The two RV Gypsies advise people to accept the offer to be driven to the suspension bridge.

Below: Karen Duquette made it to the top of the steep hill, and a bit later the two RV Gypsies got their first peek at the first suspension bridge.

Below: Lee and Karen Duquette walked on the first suspension bridge and enjoyed the view of the gorge below. But, this is NOT the longest bridge. There is another suspension bridge further along on the trail which Lee and Karen Duquette will also go to.

Below: This suspension bridge is only 300 feet across and 125 feet from the bottom of the gorge. But it was fun to walk on.

Below: Karen Duquette got an eagle's view of the majestic span of the bridges and the beauty of the unique surroundings below.

Below: Views from each side of the bridge, and a glimpse of the second suspension bridge.

Below: A view of the other bridge that is Canada's longest walk-on suspension bridge - and the beginning of the zip line.

Below: Steps leading down the side of the cliffs - and there was actually a person walking on this staircase.

Below: After a brief walk up another hill, Lee and Karen Duquette came to the second suspension bridge. Canada's longest walk-on suspension bridge, 600 feet long and 152 feet high. This was their first time here on these two suspension bridges in Canada.

(Note: The Capilano Suspension Bridge in Vancouver, Canada is only 440 feet long but it is 230 feet high, and much wider than this one.) Lee and Karen Duquette have been on the Capilano Bridge twice before (in 2004 and 2009). They can be seen by choosing TOC-C and scrolling down to Capilano - Both the 2004 and the 2009 photos are there).

Below: Karen Duquette leaned over the side of the bridge to photograph something amazing and Lee Duquette took a butt shot of her. Scroll down to see what Karen Duquette was looking at.

Below: WOW! What an amazing rock formation. And it had a yellow pail on top of it. Karen Duquette wondered Who put it there, HOW and Why ?????? It had to be a very hard task to accomplish.

Below: A close-up of the pail revealed that people have tried to throw money into the pail, so of course Lee Duquette decided that is how he would use the Canadian coins that were in his pocket. Lee and Karen Duquette both wondered who, when and how someone would ever retrieve the money.

Below: Views from the second bridge, looking back over at the first bridge that Lee and Karen Duquette walked on earlier. Signs stated that only 20 people should be on the bridge at one time. Karen Duquette was glad that nobody else was on the bridge while she was on it. Because YES, the bridge even shook with JUST the two RV Gypsies on the bridge.

Below: While on the bridge, Lee and Karen Duquette watched people on the zip line which is Canada's longest zip line, half a mile long and 175 feet high and reaching speeds in excess of 45 mph. Lee Duquette did not want to ride the zip line because he thought it cost too much money for a short time with only one line. Plus both Lee and Karen have been on several other zip lines, each with multiple lines and lasting as long as 2 hours. The one they did in North Carolina had 4 zip lines, 2 over 2,000 feet long, and 2 over 1500 feet long with speeds up to 50 mph. So they chose not to ride this zipline.
Other ziplines can be reached by clicking here and scrolling down to the ziplines. But if you go there finish this page first.

Below: Lee and Karen Duquette looked back at the tall rock formation with the yellow pail on top, and enjoyed the luxury of not having anybody else on either of the suspension bridges. This was a fun experience, even though they have been on many other swinging bridges. They just love being RV Gypsies.

Below: The bridge walk was over, so Karen Duquette took a rest on a sunny rock while Lee Duquette chose to rest across from her on a shady rock.

Below: Lee Duquette photographed the staircase going down into the gorge. YES, this is the same staircase taken from the bridge and shown earlier above and shown here again.

As Lee and Karen Duquette started down the hill, they were glad when they saw an employee on a golf cart, because he gave them a ride down the hill. He was very surprised that the two RV Gypsies had walked up the hill, as most people accept the free ride up.
