The Trent River

The Ranney Gorge Suspension Bridge is the only one of its kind in Ontario. It is 300 feet across and 30 feet above the gorge. It was built by engineers of the Canadian forces as a training project. You can see right through it as you walk across the bridge.

Ranney Falls span the entire width of the Trent River, about 80 meters (almost 200 feet). The plunge is bigger than it looks, about 4 meters (13 feet). Water in the river is directed towards the hydroelectric plant.

A giant $2 Canadian coin is located along the Trent River in Campbellford. Erected in 2001, the coin is 27 feet high and 15 feet in diameter. In reality, the Canadian $2 coin (called the "Toonie") was introduced in 1996. There is a polar bear on one side of the coin.
