White River Hiking Trail

Backcountry for the Day White River Hike (round trip): 15 km For the well-prepared, the day hike to the White River Suspension Bridge is an exhausting but unforgettable day! The rugged trail, wet in spots, takes you through thick boreal forest. Halfway to the bridge, the secluded beach at Playter Harbour offers a pleasant spot for a rest, snack and bathroom break. It is also a good place to turn back if you are too weary to continue all the way to the bridge. The White River Suspension Bridge is a highlight for many.



The bridge spans 30 metres across the chasm at a height of 23 metres. Take your time and feel the mist from the river and the thundering of waterfalls as you cross over. Please record your name and date in the check-point registration book located just before the bridge. Soon after the bridge, you will encounter a portage trail veering off the coastal trail to the right. Follow it downstream to a modest picnic spot at the base of Chigamiwinigum Falls. Check with park staff for updated trail conditions.
