Шаблон:Cleanup bare URLs Шаблон:Infobox Protected area Ferris Provincial Park is a provincial park in northeastern Northumberland County in Ontario, Canada. The park occupies an area of Шаблон:Convert next to the Trent River in Campbellford, Ontario. Within the park are 10 kilometres of hiking and mountain biking trails and a suspension bridge over Ranney Gorge. Two campground areas offer 163 sites for car camping (tents to trailers).[1] The park has a boat launch facility available for launching into the Trent River.[2]

The park's land was originally owned by James Marshall Ferris and his descendants.[3] The province acquired the lands in 1960 (Cock farm section in 1969) and opened the provincial park in 1962.[4]

The park was threatened by closure in 1994, but saved by efforts from the members of the local Rotary Club.[3] The Ranney Gorge suspension bridge was built by 8th Wing CFB Trenton from 2002 to 2004.[3]
