Located on the 194-acre Frank Knowles-Little River Reserve, this suspension bridge is just the right length and height to give your stomach a case of the flutters.
The trail offers a viewing platform that elevates hikers 15 feet above a red maple swamp, benches for sitting and admiring the salt marsh vistas and a path across waves of Spartina and saltgrass mixed with sea lavender.
The Frank Knowles-Little River Reserve can be found on Potomska Road in South Dartmouth, MA. The parking lot and trailhead are 9/10ths of a mile north of the Lloyd Center entrance or 7/10ths of a mile south of the intersection of Potomska, Rock O’Dundee and Gaffney Roads. The Boardwalk Trail is the one you’ll want to take to check out the suspension bridge. For another great canopy walk in Massachusetts, take a look at this one in Western Mass.
