Great walking trail, we had 3 ActionTrack chair riders and several walking up to the suspension bridge loop.

Orson Smith Park is a great spot to relax, especially for families. It has a small playground and restrooms, making it convenient for kids and parents alike. You can sit back, enjoy the view, and easily keep an eye on your children while they play. It also serves as the trailhead for the Bear Canyon Suspension Bridge hike, which is a nice bonus. The parking lot is conveniently located, though the park can get a bit busy on weekends. Overall, a peaceful and practical place to enjoy the outdoors.

Cool little hike! The suspension bridge is definitely interesting to walk on. But not hard to get to at all. It's definitely worth it. And the views are outstanding. There were some different trails but we stayed on the bridge loop. It has signs up to direct you quite easily. 😉 Enjoy.

I loved this hike! We went at 9am and that was the perfect time, it was getting very busy as we were leaving! The only downside was going down at the end was all sand and kinda unsteady, but doable! Dogs are allowed and my dog had a great time. Not too hard! We also saw a really large spider that was cool, i was unable to take a pic because there was alot of people around it hahahha. The bridge was also super cool and shaky, it also makes noise but cool:)

This park is also the location of the Bear Canyon Suspension bridge trailhead. There are restrooms and a play area for kids and the kid at heart. There are picnic tables and water fountains. This would be a great place for a date, family get together, or a solo venture. I recommend this park. I will be back.
