Walking & Strolling.
Downtown Trenton's riverwalk threads Centennial Park, Trent Port Marina, and Trent–Severn Lock 1 — visitors can stand on the lock grounds during navigation season and watch boats step into the start of the 386 km waterway. Eight kilometres upstream, Frankford Tourist Park sits on the Trent River with a sand beach, riverside loops, and a campground.
The brief.
The downtown Trenton waterfront walk is flat and short, anchored on Centennial Park, the marina, and the operating lockstation; the lock grounds are public during the Parks Canada navigation season (roughly mid-May through mid-October). The outdoor RCAF Memorial Air Park at the National Air Force Museum of Canada is an open-air walk among more than 25 aircraft from the full Royal Canadian Air Force era; admission to the indoor museum is by donation, and the outdoor display is free.
Frankford Tourist Park adds a riverside walk on the upper Trent with a sand beach. The downtown waterfront is comfortable year-round; the Air Park and Frankford are easiest May through October.
