This toonie won’t fit in your pocket
One-of-a-kind Attractions A view of the gorge that’s span-tastic
Connected to Ferris Provincial Park, the Ranney Gorge Suspension Bridge is a year-round attraction that is fun to walk across and offers stunning views of surrounding nature. The 91-metre structure hangs 9 metres above the Trent River and you can feel it sway gently while walking across from one side of the river to the other. There's Ferris Provincial Park on one end, which is open from the Victoria Day Weekend through to the Thanksgiving Weekend. At the other end is a walk-in entrance located off Trent Drive at Lock 11/12 in Campbellford.
A fish for your getaway that didn’t get away Pisces Pete is a stainlesssteel walleye sculpture that measures 4 metres long by 4 metres high. Designed by Canadian artist Bill Lishman, he chose this species for its popularity among local
fisherman and reputation as the best game fish in Ontario. Pisces Pete gazes longingly at the Trent River from 3 Dit Clapper Drive in the Village of Hastings.

Promised Land Animal Sanctuary is offering a virtual tour where participants can meet the residents and hear their unique stories.

Happy trails for you Campbellford and Hastings are part of Canada’s first Waterway Trail Town Program, which runs along the TrentSevern Waterway National Historic Site. The program encourages visitors to boat, paddle, cycle, hike or drive along the renowned inland passageway with its historic lock stations. Also, to spend some time along the way at the quaint communities whose character sets them apart. Trent-Severn Waterway The Trent-Severn Waterway, a Canadian National Historic Site, connects Lake Ontario and Lake Huron through a 386-km canal system. The first lock was built in 1833 as a commercial venture to allow for steamship travel. The Peterborough-to-Simcoe section opened in 1904,
followed by the link to Trenton in 1918, and then Georgian Bay in 1920. By this time the steamships were too big to travel the canal system, and with the introduction of motorized boats, the waterway became known for pleasure boating. Locks 8 through 18 are located in Trent Hills, offering sightseeing, boating, fishing and landbased activities. Travel the

waterway and its system of locks by canoe, kayak or motorized boat. Paddling docks have been installed at Lock 13 (top and bottom), Lock 10 (bottom) and Lock 8 (top). Tent camping is permitted at Locks 8 through 17 in the Trent Hills portion of the waterway. The Trent Severn Driving Tour is a great way to experience the beauty of the Trent-Severn Waterway by land!

UnFore!gettable places There are three golf courses only minutes from each other just outside of Warkworth. Each one offers something different for golfing enthusiasts. Pine Ridge Golf and Country Club is a par-71 golf course that tests your putting skills but it's also popular with long hitters. Stretching over 6,000 yards from the back tees, Pine Ridge is target golf at its best! With small, fast, undulating greens and a meandering creek you'll need to exercise care to navigate the course. Golfers will have to think their way around to post a good score. With recent tee deck additions and restorations, Pine Ridge challenges any golfer from beginner to expert.
Salt Creek Golf Links is a scenic 18-hole par-65 course with beautiful natural topography and a relaxed atmosphere. There's no pressure for speedy play and families are welcome.

Warkworth Golf and Country Club is an 18-hole par-72 course that golfers of all skill levels will find attractive. The beautiful course is well manicured with mature trees, sand traps, water hazards and large sculptured greens. The course measures 6,300 yards from the blue tees, 5,657 from the whites and 4,925 from the reds. It's an enjoyable course to walk but power carts are available for those who prefer to ride.

Hastings
Campbellford, a Tour of Designated Heritage Properties – Featured properties include several in the former Seymour Township as well as in the town of Campbellford. Lt. Col. Robert Campbell and his brother, Major David Campbell, settled in an area along the Trent River that later became known as Campbell’s Ford. By 1876 the settlement had grown and become a separate municipality, the Village of Campbellford. The population had increased so much by 1906 that it was incorporated as the Town of Campbellford.
Warkworth
Make time to go back in time The local heritage committee has created four self-guided tours that can be taken at one's leisure. The sights are to be viewed from the sidewalk or roadway only. Seymour, a Driving Tour – The spotlight is on stone houses in the former Township of Seymour where settlement began in the early 1830s. In the 1850s stone masons and others from Scotland took up residence there. Limestone was the common building material and stone homes became the area's legacy.
Hastings, an Architectural Walking Tour – Various heritage styles abound in the Village of Hastings. In 1810 James Crooks named the area Crooks Rapids, and when he sold his holdings to fellow Scot Henry Fowlds in 1851, it was renamed the Village of Hastings.
Details, a Warkworth Walking Tour – Architectural elements (both historic and recent) are highlighted on some of the village’s more notable buildings. Warkworth is situated on land originally purchased
from the Mississauga First Nation in 1784 for the benefit of United Empire Loyalist settlers, one of whom, Major Henry Humphries, chose Warkworth as the name in 1857.

WHILE ON STAYCATION BE A GOOD ‘LOCAL TOURIST’ There’s so much to do and see this summer right here in Trent Hills! Our local businesses have modified their operations in order to provide a safe environment for staff and customers. While enjoying a local excursion this summer, residents are asked to also do their part in preventing the spread of COVID-19. It starts by staying home when feeling sick. If showing symptoms of the coronavirus, self-isolate immediately and call 8-1-1 for advice and to arrange for testing. Then adhering to recommended health guidelines to keep us all safe: Make A Plan Many businesses have re-opened in Trent Hills, with capacity limits in place and often with modified hours. Check on the status of a business before you visit by checking their website, social media or calling ahead. All staff and customers must wear masks and maintain a 2-metre distance from others.
Keep Groups Small Large family outings are a no-no right now, but small family groups can enjoy local outings together this summer. Remember to maintain proper distancing from others when picnicking, dining at restaurants, exploring trails, visiting attractions or shopping in stores.
Keep Your Distance – Wear A Mask Staying 2 metres (6 feet) apart is the easiest way to stay safe. When outdoors, masks are required if physical distancing isn’t possible. Masks are always required inside local businesses. If you are exempt from wearing a mask, be sure to check with the business on their policy for these circumstances.
Keep Hands Clean Wash your hands often with soap and water for a minimum of 20 seconds — especially after being in a public place. If water and soap are not available, use hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
Clean Up After Yourself Trent Hills has many parks and trails for exploring nature. Please respect these outdoor areas and leave no trace behind. This includes leaving natural objects as you find them, disposing of waste properly and being considerate of other visitors. This will ensure those who come later will enjoy the space as much as you did.
Be Respectful The world’s a different place now and longer wait times are part of the new reality. Safety protocols are now a fact of life for businesses. In turn, they ask that customers be patient and understanding. Any inconvenience you may experience by these new measures is in place to keep both staff and customers safe.
Show Loyalty Businesses in Trent Hills need your support more than ever and they’re making an extra effort to keep their customers happy. By choosing local, you are choosing to support friends and neighbours, while keeping our local economy strong. You can find it all here — shops, services, restaurants, producers and makers.
