Discoverer Day Option B: Forest and Swing Bridge Walk

Crossing the Falls River Swing Bridge

One of the highlights of the walk is the famous Falls River swing bridge. Suspended high above the river, it offers both thrill and a fantastic vantage point. Many visitors say this crossing is the most memorable part of the trail.

Though Cleopatra’s Pool is currently closed, there’s still plenty to enjoy on this walk. From forest clearings to coastal glimpses, the trail keeps surprising you with its variety. By the time you arrive at Anchorage Beach, you’ll have experienced some of the park’s finest scenery.
