Campbellford- Giant Toonie and Suspension Bridge

May 18th, 2008 by Rose DesRochers · 6 Comments

Today we took a Sunday drive to Campbellford. Campbellford is home of the gigantic two dollar toonie designed by Canadian wildlife artist, Brent Townsend (brenttownsend.ca). Brent is known for his Polar Bear design on Canada’s two dollar coin.

We stopped and took some pictures of the 20-foot-high toonie and then we went to Ferris Provincial Park and walked across the 300 foot-long Ranney Gorge Suspension Bridge.

The bridge is 30 feet high above the Trent River.

Rushing water under my feet.

No Jumping from the bridge

I’m not crazy enough to jump.

The Trent River

What a view from the bridge.

Beware of the bears

We walked along one of Ferris Park’s trails. Bears?

Fire Hall

I love things of historical value. The Campbellford Fire hall was built in 1889.

Back of Fire Hall

This picture of the back of the fire hall was taken from  the Old Mill Park located on the Trent River.

    I loved that suspension bridge it was high and I was scared at first but I got over it. My favorite photo is the one of the back of the fire hall. It is one of the photos that you would see in a tourist brochure.

    That is a very interesting bridge. Looks like it is buckling a bit or is that the picture. I love the old firehouse. I can’t wait to go to Europe, in the U.S. nothing is older than 300 years, which isn’t young, but its not a thousand year old cathedral or 2000 year old roman road.

    Eric if it’s buckling it is because I was on it. ROFL :mrgreen:
