Campbellford - Home of Canada's two dollar coin.
Tourism and travel information.
Its location on the banks of the Trent-Severn Waterway means that you can arrive in Campbellford by land or water. An ideal spot for anglers interested in bass, pickerel and trout, the community is part of a rich agricultural region that boasts award-winning maple sugar producers, exotic bison and emu farms and a cheese factory.
Tee off at one of three golf courses and complete your outdoor experience with a visit to Ranney and Healey Falls, Ferris Provincial Park or the Seymour Conservation Area.
And for a great photo opportunity, stop by Old Mill Park and have your picture taken beside a giant lit replica of the $2 coin, erected in honour of Brent Townsend the designer of the coin and a Campbellford artist.

as between Peterborough and Bellville North/South. Highway 30 connects Campbellford to Highway 401
