But that's not it.
Right Country (of course!), wrong province.
The Structure type is good too.

When I saw this photo, I was sure I was on the right track!
OK.... still looking....
This one is in BC -- which is too far away for the first clue... but what a view!
OK... another place I've not been yet.... How about St. Anne's Gorge here...
Unfortunately, none of these bridges seem to be in the Guiness book -- so, I'm still stumped

Paris Gibson Square Museum of Art in Great Falls, Montana. Love the car.
Re-capping the clues:
Clue #1: This bridge is in the Guinness Book of Record. I'll let you find why.
Clue #2: Not in the USA, but...still in North America though and, in fact, pretty close to the customs.
Also easily doable (round trip) in a day drive from my house (see location).
Clue #3: The City in which this bridge is located is known for it's Ice Cream factory.
And because that clue might only appeal to Quebec Gen...
Clue #4: That city gets 10% of it's electricity from dams on the river below that bridge. Even tough 3 of those damns are located accross the border, the city still maintain them.

Boy, this is a GREAT puzzle -- Now, I am really curious...
I found another in Ontario -- it even has a wood deck and it's supposed to be the longest one in Canada -- but it doesn't look like your photo.... You gotta look at the photos on that page -- that would give ANYONE a thrill to walk across!
Wait a second.... Clue #3 -- this bridge is INSIDE a city?

There is a suspension bridge with a similar architecture to your mystery photo in the Niagara Escarpment and it's supposed to be the longest suspension bridge in Ontario. The nearest town would be Collingwood, but I couldn't identify a specific ice cream company based here.
Am I getting warmer?

You're actually getting colder. I live near Montreal so a round trip to Niagara in a day sounds pretty rough to me ;)
The Record I'm talking about is according to a sign posted near the bridge, tried looking on the web for anything official, didn't get anything. Didn't get anything against it though. It's shorter than the bridge you posted, guess it falls down to the bridge type.
The bridge is in a little park but yes, that park is located in the town itself.

Here are two other shots, in case that helps a little.
And Clue #5: The town name means "river of the land of pine trees" in Abenaki's language, the town first inhabitants.
Coaticook, Quebec is supposed to have the "world's longest pedestrian suspension bridge" at over 169 meters. It spans the Coaticook Gorge (Gorge de Coaticook).
By golly, here's another photo...
And then this must be the ice cream company?
Whew!
Mark
go here for clues
What is the name of this place? What region is it in? Why is the region a tourist attraction?
