Walking & Strolling.
Old Mill Park sits at the foot of the Ranney Gorge Suspension Bridge in Campbellford, with the "Toonie" sculpture honouring the local artist who designed the polar-bear reverse of the Canadian two-dollar coin and a short waterfront walk down to the Trent River. Hastings Waterfront Park runs along the river beside Lock 18, and Warkworth's heritage village main street threads a compact pre-Confederation streetscape that hosts the Maple Syrup Festival in late March.
The brief.
The three village walking anchors — Old Mill Park in Campbellford, Hastings Waterfront, and Warkworth's main street — are each a short stroll rather than a long trail, and together they make a short driving day across the municipality. Old Mill Park connects directly to Ferris Provincial Park across the suspension bridge, so a Campbellford walk can extend into the gorge without driving twice.
Hastings Waterfront sits beside Lock 18 and is most active during the navigation season (mid-May through mid-October). Warkworth's heritage main street is walkable year-round; the Maple Syrup Festival in late March is the busiest day of the year on the village green.

Cool but comfortable for layered effort.
