The Blackshale Suspension Bridge is a short hike that makes for a nice addition to a day exploring Kananaskis Country. It isn't much more than a short walk and can easily be done by anyone in less than an hour. It's still worth the time, as the suspension bridge is cool and offers some nice views up and down the steep Blackshale Creek, but we recommend adding it to another easy like Chester or Rawson Lake.

The hike is a short loop, and we don't believe the direction in which you hike in the short loop makes much difference. It isn't the most exciting, with few views, and the main highlight is crossing the bridge itself. I wouldn't expect to be blown away, but it still makes for a cool stop when visiting nearby lakes. It makes for a nice photo, too!
