That’s right Souris is home to Canada’s longest swinging bridge, measuring at 604 feet.

With a lot of history behind this official Manitoba Star attraction, like it originally being built in 1904 and reconstructed due to the great floods through the province.

With an estimated 5000 visitors a year, not all have the courage to cross the famous bridge, do you?
