Experience the gentle sway of the Ranney Gorge Suspension bridge, Ontario's first 300 foot-long suspension bridge and over 30 feet high above the Ranney Gorge and located on the Trans Canada Trail.

Your Ferris Park Permit allows you access to nearby Presqu’ile Provincial Park and Sandbanks Provincial Park, which are 40 min and 1 hr 20 min away respectively.

Natural Heritage Education programs provide families with hands-on, entertaining ways to explore the park and learn more about its famous sand dunes, discover the watery world of the Outlet River or learn about the park’s fascinating history.

Wow, sounds great. Love the poutine and cheese and Michigan burgers! We seem to find those in Ontario more than in Michigan. Enjoy everyone!

Quick reminder that reservations open on SUNDAY, JANUARY 4TH at 7:00 AM.  We encourage our fellow R-Podders to reserve their sites in the  Valleyview campground, as Bedrock campground is ideal for bigger RVs.

So far we have 6 campsites booked by those who are arriving early.  (Make sure that you send me an email to mailto:rpod@wray-canada.com" rel="nofollow - rpod@wray-canada.com so that I can add you to the FR "campout" list so that we have enough food for the BBQ.)

Spent a chilly day on Sunday snowshoeing in Ferris Provincial Park, ON. Also checked out some of the things that we will see on our day trips during our 2015 Ontario F.R.O.G. Rendez-vous from June 4-7th.

We currently have 42 campsites reserved with 98 people attending.  That includes 13 R-Pods and 29 other FR RVs coming from Ontario, Quebec, New York, Michigan and Indiana.

We currently have 13 R-Pods coming to our Rendez-vous, out of 42 campsites reserved with FR RVs.

Nice assortment of models - it will be fun to compare mods!

Always room for one more ...

Dear Friends,

It is hard to believe that it is now less than a month before we will all gather for our 2015 Ontario FROG Rendez-vous at Ferris Provincial Park.  There are 49 campsites reserved, with over 110 campers from Ontario, Quebec, New York, and Michigan.  

We have tried to keep all of the planned activities quite informal as the goal is to have a fairly relaxed camp-out.  You are welcome to come to any or all of the activities over the week-end.   

The Ontario Parks staff and the “Friends of Ferris” join us in welcoming everyone.

See you in June …

David & Liz

Weather is looking pretty good for our 2015 Ontario FROG Rendez-vous at Ferris Prov. Pk. this week-end.  Mainly sunny for arrival day and the BBQ on Saturday.  Chance of showers for excursion day on Friday when we are out and about anyway.  See you there!
