The famous Doube's trestle bridge offers spectacular views across the Buttermilk Valley.  The bridge was originally constructed to link the rail line running between Peterborough and Omenee.  During the summer of 1885, five hundred Italian immigrants completed the construction of the 700 foot long and 40 foot high trestle, using only hand shovels, ropes and pulleys and muscle.  The rail line was discontinued in 1989 and eventually was formally incorporated as part of the Trans Canada Trail in 2008.

Accessible year round by foot or bicycle only.
