Description
Join us on our first Friday bus hike of 2025 to celebrate Healthy Parks Healthy People Day and explore Ferris Provincial Park near Campbellford, ON. We will be hiking the Drumlin Trail System - 3 interconnecting looped trails (6.2 km), the Ranney Falls Trail (1 km) along the Trent river, where there are magnificent views of the Ranney Gorge Suspension Bridge and Ranney Falls, and the River Gorge Trail (3.5 km) with magnificent views of the Trent River gorge from the Ranney Gorge Suspension Bridge.
There will be a refreshment stop in Campbellford after the hike before returning to Toronto. The town of Campbellford features the giant toonie and Dooher's Bakery (some of the best donuts around).
Note: No Fee will be charged for the Provincial Park entry since it is Healthy Parks Healthy People Day (free admission to Ontario provincial parks).
