Place in Ontario, Canada From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ravensworth is an unincorporated place and former railway point in the municipality of Kearney, Parry Sound District in Central Ontario, Canada.[1] It is located at the present day intersection of Rain Lake Road and the north end of Aholas Drive, about 8 kilometres (5 mi) east of the centre of Kearney. The community was once a station on the Ottawa, Arnprior and Parry Sound Railway, but it was decommissioned in 1959. The railbed was converted into Rain Lake Road to allow continued access to Ravensworth and other communities along the route.
