Parc de la Gorge-de-Coaticook

Parc de la Gorge-de-Coaticook, Regional park in Coaticook, Canada

Parc de la Gorge-de-Coaticook is a regional park set in a gorge about 750 metres long, cut by the Coaticook River into rock walls up to 50 metres high. A 169-metre pedestrian suspension bridge, 2 metres wide and 50 metres above the gorge floor, crosses the ravine; it was inaugurated on 29 May 1989. Cliff-side walkways and footpaths run along the rock faces, and the park also holds a replica round barn and a covered bridge.

Site work began in 1974 with clearing operations; footpaths and small footbridges over the Coaticook River followed in 1975. The park opened in 1977 and the Société de développement de la Gorge de Coaticook was officially created in 1979. The suspension footbridge was built from July to December 1988 for $628,000 and inaugurated on 29 May 1989.

The park hosts Quebec's national holiday festivities and, since 2014, Foresta Lumina, a 2 km illuminated night walk created with Moment Factory after the community raised $1 million. The suspended footbridge's lights change with Coaticook's weather, a system installed in 2021.

The park lies about 1.5 km northwest of Coaticook town, at 293 m above sea level. The suspension bridge is 2 m wide and holds roughly 800 people; its lighting changes with the weather, a system in place since 2021. Camping has 178 sites and 2 shelters sleeping up to 6, open summer and winter, some with water and electricity.

The suspension bridge was certified by the Guinness Book of Records as the world's longest pedestrian suspension bridge when it opened on 29 May 1989. It is 169 metres long, 2 metres wide and hangs 50 metres above the gorge floor, and can hold about 800 people. Since 2021 its lights change with the weather in Coaticook.
