Ranney Falls Locks

On the back side of Ferris Provincial Park lies the Trent River, and locks 11 and 12 of the Trent-Severn marine railway.

Campbellford Camping

Unfortunately had to head east for a funeral, figured to make the best of it with a mini-vacation along the way. Spent a few nights camping at Ferris Provincial Park near Campbellford, on the idyllic Trent River.

Also visited nearby Church Key Brewing, set up in old church. Besides some delicious libations, the formerly hallowed ground also contained the most impressive collection of beer bottles I have seen. Put mine to shame, it did.


Evening warmth....

...and morning java

R&R...& Reading!
